Why are so many open-source projects, particularly projects written in Rust, MIT licensed?

opensource.org

The most popular licenses for each language in 2023

A few people pointed out that many [R]ust projects were MIT licensed and since then I indeed have seen MIT licensed projects everywhere in Rust. Then I found the link of this post and it looks like MIT was by far the most popular license in all of opensource in 2023.

Any ideas why?
