It's really not clear on what basis you brush away their reasons. Just calling them "very weak" with nothing to support it doesn't mean much.

The lasting system bit is very weak. Those old languages are still getting regular releases. Also Rust barely changes from one version to the next, entirely unlike C++!

Rust interop to the libraries they list is not an issue.

If you are good at c++ and want to continue building software in c++ it is fine. Just be honest about it.
