"Their boss" - I'm not sure that boss is best word here.
"did ask for it" - did he? Because from my perspective it looks more like he gave the bone for corporations so they will shut up for rust in kernel. After some time it will end up "Sorry but rust did not have enough support - maintainers left and there were issues with language - well back to C"
In what way is the sole person who decides whether code gets merged into Linux not the boss of everyone who writes code for Linux?
