Why do Rust projects have to keep sucking license wise?

Like I like the languages goals. Mozzilla even made the MPL along with it! Why go rug pull licenese type everytime?

The standard way to link in rust is statically.

Due to a technicality, statically linking a GPL library means the final program has to be GPL too. So they basically can't make GPL libraries.

Why not use LGPL instead of MIT? Idk.
