I would have preferred Rust, a language created by Mozilla instead of one with ties to Apple, but I’m not a dev so I can’t really judge. What are your thoughts?

You’re actually wrong about that. You’re free to modify - just that you can’t distribute them under the “Rust” brand or logo. You can use the mascot - Ferris the crab, however. There’s a alternative project called crablang, if you’re dissatisfied with what Mozilla is doing.
Then why are people saying you can’t distribute modified versions at all without permission?
You can’t distribute it with the Rust brand. That part is still true. You could, for example, call it GolfLang, and no one would bother you. Most probably misinformation to snub on a new project.
