I didn't say it was a defect. I said it made rust inferior for me. Those are different things. I don't disagree with rust reasons for making that tradeoff - but the tradeoff as a result makes rust useless for now, for me. If it works for you great.

I think the term "inferior" isn't really appropriate, then. It typically applies to the quality of the thing on its own, not its applicability outside of its stated scope.
