I trust them more because I choose who mantains the repos I use. I trust them more because I already have to trust them: they provide almost every single piece of software I run on my machine. In this case I'm on Fedora which has a good track record for security, stability, and only allowing free software.
It's not to say that I don't trust the Rust project, nowadays I kinda have to, but curl sh installation is messy and separated from the rest of the system. If they just packaged rustup into an rpm and set up their own repos I could point dnf to it would make system maintenance so much easier.
I just want them to use the tools that already exist instead of reinventing the wheel with an esoteric 700 lines-long sh script. This applies to Rust and any other kind of tooling that does the same installation workflow. I understand the reasoning behind it, but I believe the other options should also be considered and supported.
