You're spot on. The same people complain endlessly about Rust being used in the Linux kernel, even though the actual experts are happy with it. It's just culture war bullshit.

I didn't know how much of a change Lunduke had had until recently, when I watched a video by Nicco. I used to watch his Linux Sucks videos 4-5 years ago, and he genuinely seemed like a chill dude.
