That this is a technological decision rather than rationalizations (e.g. fixing self-inflicted problems are now marketed as a rewrite win) that Rust is a better fit for an Anthropic-owned project.

Indeed as the developers behind Bun, it would be rather difficult for them to not be the originators of the bugs that they have now fixed with this.

Why is your unsupported speculation about the guy supposedly deciding that "Rust being a better fit for an Anthrophic-owned project" a critical insight exactly? Do you imagine critical thinking as just coming up with and preferring (to you) plausible-sounding alternative explanations?

Because respectfully, that's very much not how I understand the word, and I'd hope most people do not either. Maybe that's the issue.
