Usually, people highlight functional/architectural changes over superficial things like language choice.

That's true. But it is also true that almost nobody rewrites a whole complex software in Rust to get internet forum points from HN people.

Your question was "Is it wrong, though?" The answer is "Yes"

But it sure does lampoon a current point which is that people seem pretty quick to want to share their Rust rewrites of other software.
