> why compare it to eBPF vs just making a mechanism to load kernel modules written in Rust.

Because it's not just a mechanism to load kernel modules in Rust, it's specifically a mechanism to load them in the same places that ebpf programs are loadable, using the existing kernel machinery for executing ebpf programs, and with some helpers to interface with existing epbf programs.

eBPF still guarantees that a loaded program won’t crash or hang the kernel. Rex does let you hang the kernel.
