Why they can't just all work on the same project to get it done faster
You don't program in Rust because you want to finish a project.
You don't? Then why?
Rust has become a very popular language for hobby projects but hasn't gained lots of traction in professional development. It's a joke to say finished Rust programs are like unicorns.
Because they have different goals
This is just how all FOSS works. Everyone scrambles to do their own projects, either for fun or for necessity, and eventually some fizzle out and funnel people to contribute to alternatives. Trying to start immediately with one solution to rule them all just kills that early progress unless you're part of some corporate gig willing to dump loads of money on it in the meantime.
