Gnome upstream is notoriously hard to work with and will insult it’s users and make up bogus reasons to reject perfectly good feature requests and bugreports.
Gnome is slow as balls. On low end hardware gnome bloody chugs compared to KDE let alone the “light weight” DEs.
Gnome is insanely slow to implement many features.
Gnome is hostile to working with upstream wayland protocols like window decore.
S76 want’s their desktop to look and work a certain way, and making gnome look/work like that is difficult especially when upstream is not prepared to play ball.
Personally, not needing to deal with gnome developers alone is a feature. Rust is just a tool which makes developing your own DE, compositor included, very easy.

Gnome devs have insulted S76 devs in public forums, have complained about S76 not funding gnome’s A11y efforts despite S76 donating quite a lot to gnome over the course of 5 years, $100’000 https://old.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/xwtns5/does_it_seem_like_gnome_wants_system_76s_cosmic/ira4e8o/

I would agree with those devs, and I’m not even one of them.
Again, to correct you, Rust is a language, not a tool.
