I don't know enough details to say for sure, but some possibilities:

1. People may be more willing to learn Rust. I much prefer the language itself, but also it's clearly on the rise, so it may feel like a better learning investment.

2. The standard library is broader and the package ecosystem is easier to work with, so you might be able to have a more standard stack with fewer proprietary bits.

3. One complication with integrating multiple languages is making different memory management strategies coexist. Rust's type system seems to have ways of making that easier, e.g. neon-bindings.com
