> Rust is not a language for lazy developers.

I am one, and Rust absolutely can be.

> Lazy developers won't fight with the borrow checker.

You don't fight the borrow checker when writing web code. The request flow is well suited for rarely, if ever, testing the borrow checker.

> Instead, think more critically about why a Rust developer would need a web framework

The same reason anyone would need a web framework. Anything ranging from bullshit hack to high SLA service.

I'm finding Rust to be a drop-in Go and Python replacement for HTTP. It's really good at this use case, and it's certainly something you can be very lazy about with modern Rust web frameworks.
