You can see it in the Rust community. So much of the focus has been on http servers instead of codecs, operating systems, daemons, file systems, etc.

To be fair, in a sense it's less surprising when the most notable project in Rust, from relatively early on, was a web browser.
That seems pretty uncharitable, there's more than a few OS projects happening in the Rust space and I know a bunch of people spend time poking at low-level stuff(myself included).
The above poster didn't say that there weren't any OSs or low-level stuff (anyone who frequents HN would know that) they said that majority focus is elsewhere.
