My theory is they wrote this just to get the ‘rewrite everything in Rust’ crowd off their backs.

I think it’s the opposite. They want to atleast explore rewriting in Rust but are afraid of backlash. Hence why they’re open to private discussion. I can imagine they are split internally.
I find it a bit too specific, because it won't get rid of the `rewrite everything in (Go|Zig|…)` crowds. But who knows…?
