The difference is that at least Google is actively deploying Rust-based Linux code in Android already.
And the big Linux foundation members have more influence than is publically known.

Linus was pretty clear about his views on working with vendors, etc, in his Autobiography so I'm not sure if/why there would be surprise.
Solaris, Java and C/C++ conpilers were all owned by Sun. I feel that is a situation without anyone even trying to maintain whatever separation some might expect from Linus.
