Since you seem to be in good faith: no, you’re wrong. Using a language cannot force you into adopting a licence, because automatically everything you produce will be all rights reserved unless otherwise specified. It’s then up to the developer to choose a license.

Rust doesn’t even populate the license metadata in your manifest, it’s up to you.

I think MIT dominance came about thanks to GitHub’s choose a license.
