The WIT types don’t seem random or Rust-centric to me, they’re basic types common to every major current-generation language, not just Rust but also Swift, Kotlin, even Zig. It’s true that languages with type designs from the 90s can’t take full advantage of WIT types, but WIT does seem perfectly capable of representing types from older languages, which seems like the only possible sensible design to me—older languages are supported, but that support needn’t burden interop between modern languages.
