You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the Rust team is some huge organization. They're not. They are certainly larger than you or me sitting behind our keyboards at home, but they don't have endless resources, and they are always stretched pretty thin. So sure, you want, say, a JSON library in Rust std? Who's going to shepherd it in and then maintain it? Well, you could hope that the people behind serde_json might want to do it, but what if they don't? Where are you going to get the people with the time to do it? For something like Go, the answer is easy: tap into the money printer that is Google, and hire more people. But for Rust? Hell, the core team has probably only declined in number over the years (Mozilla layoffs, for one thing).
