BTW I think some anti-Rust people are more annoying than the worst Rust evangelists - seen some of them calling people not using Rust as "murderers", because "memory leakage can kill at the right time" - but that's due to them being evangelists to right-wing politics.
I have a guess that it was added as a workaround the moment Rust was marketed as a general C++ replacement, and as people started to realize overusing the FP paradigm also has its downsides, it's not unique to OOP.
Pure OOP without first class functions sucks fucking ass.
