Why even write C++ at that point? Wouldn’t changing over to Rust save you at least a couple of those steps?

Tooling, libraries, OS vendor support, IDEs, work force availability,...

Many of us write C and C++, because we have to, not because we want to.

Rust will eventually reach there, however many of us want to deliver a product, not build an ecosystem from scratch.
