>It's not really Java becoming more Rust like, Rust didn't invent these concepts.

I see what you're saying, and definitely agree in a way, but also those two things aren't incompatible.

Rust didn't invent those concepts, but Java is becoming more like it by incorporating them. If Rust is much more widely known about than other languages that have those things, it may be more informative to people to hear "Java is getting some stuff from Rust" than to hear a statement that apportions the credit in more detail.
