A lot of it is actually GPL-washing and rust is the excuse.
I'm on the rewrite it in rust bandwagon, but I secretly want to rewrite things in rust so they can be refactored and made easier to maintain and add features. So "rewrite it in rust" is just like "rewriting it in anything that I'm currently enamored with," and doing it with an LLM (defactoring?) would miss the point for me.
rust being safe(r) just makes the rewrite less risky.
