Why do you prioritize making things easier for beginners? I mean, it's a system language many people are going to choose to code advanced performant stuff. Wouldn't it make sense to prioritize programmers who are going to build important stuff in it?

Beginners to Rust, not people who are new to programming, sorry that was ambiguous! We are putting basically zero effort into "learn programming via Rust."
