I think there is some similarity between information security and Rust community; there had been the elephant in the room, and they were the first to actively acknowledge and get rid of it. Since it was long neglected by others, the elimination of the elephant---vulnerability or memory bugs---can be seen as the utmost goal to some (but not all) of them. Others will complain, but as those others were mostly who neglected the elephant from the beginning, their complaints are mixed, some reasonable, some not. It's clear that this situation is far from being ideal, both for who are aware of the elephant and not, but I'm not sure how to mend this gap in understanding.
