The way I read about Bevy in online discussions obfuscates this. Someone who is new to game development could be confused into thinking Bevy is a fair competitor with the other engines you mentioned. And equate Bevy with Rust, or Bevy with Rust in game dev. I think stomping this out is critical to expectation management, and perhaps rust's future in game dev.
Not only Bevy. In this very thread someone is suggesting an even less mature Rust game engine: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43825564
From my experience one has to take Rust discussions with a grain of salt because often shortcomings and disclosures are handwaved and/or ommited.
I've learned to do the same. I see this in the embedded world as well.
And within rust, I've learned to look beyond the most popular and hyped tools; they are often not the best ones.
