Also, nothing is even close to matching the ability of C++ to build against other C++.

Even if Rust had Rust alternatives for enough of the interesting niches, it will take a loooong time for all the relevant software to either get rewritten or reach end of life.

Companies rather invest into hardware memory tagging than trying to rewrite C applications into something else, in those domains.
