I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I'm not a dev so I can't really judge. What are your thoughts?

The alternatives have to exist first before the monopoly can break. One doesn't have to think the browser will singlehandedly change the entire browser space to be hyped about more alternatives. I am just excited to see some amount of motion in opposition to the decline into the google-net. Not that this is the only thing happening but it is an interesting one that I hope pans out.

But alternatives already exist in the form of Safari and Firefox.

Firefox is somehow struggling at picking up feedback from users and Safari is not open source.

Alright then when the stars align perfectly and this pie in the sky becomes a reality maybe we can seriously consider regulating Google.

Putting aside the fact that you're engaging in extremely blatant goalpost moving, WebKit is open source and is being used by open source browsers like GNOME Web.
