Which is exactly what he did, in addition to also acknowledging the pattern of the Rust community using hype to attract attention. He didn't force anything onto anyone, he just expressed his opinion.
But I don't think I've ever seen any other community (except C++, 20 years ago, perhaps?) being so vocal about wanting to rewrite the whole software ecosystem in their language. "Rewrite it in Rust" is basically a catchphrase now.
