It's mainly the visual pollution that bothers me. Wrapping everything in the reference counting smart pointers just because you can't be bothered dealing with the borrow checker seems like an antipattern
I don't know why so many recommend Rc or Arc as a catchall. 90% of the time if you want to avoid the borrow checker then a clone or copy is good enough.
