The pushback is justified I think - compile from source should be the default always for Rust since it works well (even if slower than desired sometimes).
Pre-compiled is kind of nice for scripting languages since the complexity of native dependencies is usually not wanted by those developers. In Node, I prefer pre-compiled as the default. Here, I do not.
