Now come on with your "entitlement". It's not as though we're talking about some random people who made some little package for their own use and decided to make it available in case anyone else found it useful, and now the community demands from them are becoming too much and are something they never asked for. This is a group that have named themselves the Python Cryptographic Authority and have chosen the prominent pypi package name of just "cryptography". They couldn't have done any more to encourage the broader community to depend on it and make it a core part of their stack.
In comparison, I couldn't imagine the python core team (also largely unpaid) doing this with one of their stdlib modules and then dismissing those objecting as "entitled".
(FWIW I'm not particularly interested in taking a side in this issue, but think your labelling as "entitled" is unhelpful)
I agree with the idea that it is entitled. Hell, Python itself is only directly supported on a couple of architectures and operating systems. It has even fewer "tier 1" targets than Rust does! It is made available in source format only for other packagers to use as they see fit, but it is not python's responsibility to support it. Why should a library maintainer feel any obligation to support platforms that the language doesn't provide first class support for?
