This points to the larger perception issue that "anybody who advocates for Rust is part of the Rust community and/or knows Rust well". But there are many Rust evangelists who obviously don't know much about Rust (this is not Rust-specific, it's a common issue in tech). This kind of "positive FUD" is ultimately harmful, as outsiders understandably get tired of the hype and start ignoring any pro-Rust argument, good or bad.
In my experience, the community of actual Rust users is much more level-headed. While most do love the language and the "this aspect of Rust is irrefutably better than the equivalent in $OTHERLANG" opinion occasionally pops up, the community seems pragmatic and well aware of Rust's cons. Case in point: the "should I use Rust" questions on the rust subreddit don't get dogmatic answers, and often result in "Rust isn't ideal for your use-case" advice.
