Two reasons I can think of:

1) the exact layout is still in flux (not modular, no commands or events).

2) Rust prefers to have all files under a common path ("mod xyz" directs 
the compiler to look at xyz.rs or xyz/mod.rs), which doesn't work well 
if they are created in qapi/meson.build.  There's plenty of workarounds, 
but I'd rather not pick one until the layout is fixed.

So maybe for now we can use -B and not pollute qapi/meson.build, and 
when the generator is more complete we can move Rust generation there?
