despite developers' positive feelings toward Rust, 97% of them hadn't actually used it.
Who says they love something they have not used???
I might say something seems decent, but no way would I say I *LOVE* a language until I've done a few real things in it.
The top issues that respondents say the Rust project could do to improve adoption of the language are better training and documentation, followed by better libraries, IDE integration, and improved compile times...
You left out the part about not wanting to be in a project that spends more of its time debating what a man should call his vagina than working on actual work.
It doesn't have to be foremost on people's minds to chase them away. I steer way from projects when I see SJW nonsense. It's a huge red flag that the community is full of moral busybodies. Many of whom are all too eager to tear each other and the project apart over bullshit that has nothing to do with the project. I'm not going to waste my time on something that is one "triggering" tweet away from becoming a dumpster fire.
The funny thing is, the Rust community is pleasant, helpful and easy to get on with. There is little to no discussion of politics on the help forums, most of the discussion is technical. Overall, its one of the better parts of the internet.
You can not get anything worthwhile done without raising a sweat.

Maybe you should get off slashdot too, just in case a SJW posts something!
