> CLI tools that are only ever run with same-user privileges?
You don't think these are ever run with sudo/runas/pkexec/run0 or otherwise invoked by a program running as root?
That said I do think things like sudo, ssh, gpg, maybe systemd, http servers like nginx and apache etc. are more valuable to replace with tools written in rust (or more generally a "memory safe language"). But that doesn't mean rewriting coreutils isn't valuable.
