Because for most developers language is a religion rather than just a tool.

If a tool had been replaced by a better tool, wouldn't it be natural to discuss that?
First - the tool in question had not been replaced. Second -discussion based on merits is one thing. Holy war is something totally different.
Personally I do not consider Rust to be a better tool but it does not matter. Each one is free to drink their own poison. I do not get obsessed about screwdrivers and I have used many.
In many instances the tool has been replaced.

The problem is the sunk cost fallacy.
You mean there are still people left who do not want to rewrite everything in Rust?
