Git’s source code has included some optional Rust components for a few releases now. Rust is planned to be a requirement for 3.0 (IIUC), but I don’t have any recollection of the proposed timeline. [There was also some discussion of delaying the Rust mandate timeline for platforms which currently lack support?]

2.55 is the first version to flip the default to « build with Rust », but it remains optional as you’ve discovered.

Searching the internet shows Alma has packages for Rust, which you should be able to install if you want to compile with the Rust components.
