Not only that, but the script is useless.

All it does is bullshit of 100 lines or so, but the main part of what it does is

download a tarball, make some temporary directory, and run install.sh

How difficult would those instructions be? Here take a tarball, and you know, unpack it and run install.sh

I guess, too difficult for the audience that Rust developers are targeting with this curl this | sudo bash bullshit.

I don't disagree that that seems simple enough a process to follow, but bear in mind this command is supposed to be run daily. Convenience is definitely a boon.
