More people pick up coding C++ professionally in any given week than the total being paid to code Rust full time.

The bigger a company is, the more various languages people there dabble in, and the less it means that somebody there dabbles in your favorite. You would better add up revenue (NB: not market cap) of companies specializing in using your favorite language; but that number would be disappointingly small for any language as far from maturity as Rust still is.

I wasn't aware that restating an entrenched state of affairs is an argument in a discussion.

Doubly so when that entrenched state of affairs is actively being attacked every day for years now.

But sure, let me not stop you.
