Nearly expected. The Linux Foundation doesn't spend nearly enough money on the linux kernel to get new blood into it willing to contribute what is necessary (in this case Rust).

This is basically what you said here, and it's still wrong: social dynamics, not money, is the main reason why young hackers (don't) work on Linux. I'm starting to suspect that you've not hacked kernel before.

Isn't your objection there basically "LF doesn't pay enough for people to put up with negative social dynamics"? In which case, wouldn't paying more help a lot?

How much more? When it comes to whether I'd write GPU drivers for money, I can tell you that LF doesn't pay enough, Collabora doesn't pay enough, Red Hat doesn't pay enough, and Google illegally depressed my salary. Due to their shitty reputation, Apple, Meta, or nVidia cannot pay enough. And AMD only hires one open-source developer every few years. Special shoutout to Intel, who is too incompetent to consider as an employer.

I don't know, but I also don't know how much you think is "enough" to deal with project cultural issues. It sounds like it must be quite a bit?
