Is that the new generation of curl | bashism in action?

Is the "--privileged" option ironic here? The project is very interesting, but it feels a bit pedantic, especially when emphasizing Rust's safety features while downplaying Linux. At the same time, it seems they're not fully applying those principles themselves, which makes it feel like they're not quite 'eating their own lunch'.

A bit below in the github readme there is a link to the handbook where they explain how to build and run the project using cargo:
