The antibodies are probably to the "written in rust" addendum, which seems unnecessary unless rust adds something to the product. Much of the answer above to "why Rust" concerns the developer, and we are potential customers, so who cares? Just drop the "in Rust" and don't worry going forward.

Honestly though I thought we were past the "written in Rust" phase.

It works. Including on me. I'm much more likely to pay attention to a tool that I know is written in Rust. This is both because I love the language and really enjoy using it, and because I've gotten conditioned to believing that tools written in it will be extremely robust, fast, useful, and stable. I can easily rattle off a dozen tools I use on a regular basis written in Rust that are significantly better than their non-Rust counterparts (starting with ripgrep, which is extremely fast). It's effective marketing still.
