I do think that specific point is catering too much to sloppy get-it-done-fast-and-don't-think developers. It's true that they are Rust's most untapped demographic, and the language won't reach the pinnacle of mainstream usage without getting buy-in from that group, but I really think they'll be won over eventually by everything else the language and ecosystem offers, and
.unwrap()won't be such an unreasonable price for them to pay in the long run.
