This is entirely self-inflicted on your part!

Rust is certainly the right tool for this problem, your own decisions notwithstanding.

Self inflicted because we want to protect as many people as possible from supply chain attacks. That is a very real engineering problem we have to solve that extremely high risk end users of our work depend on.

Most popular Linux distros take a position of hoping and praying supply chain attacks do not target them. I am not convinced this will go well for them in the post AI world, but hey, I also hope I am wrong.
