The difference is that rust-analyzer itself recommends using the rustup
invocation as an alternative to adding the language server to PATH.[1]

I also don't see any downside to adding it.  The variable will get a
tiny bit uglier perhaps, but the benefit is that a real hurdle will be
eliminated for users.  That's a win in my book.
