Just because you start doing some new thing does not mean you can't also work on other things. Rewriting the browser in rust is a gargantuan task. It's still ongoing. Adding more programmers does not instantly speed things up linearly. If every person currently doing labs-work switched to trying to help with the rust effort, I don't know if it would even make a significant difference.. And a bunch of them would probably quit because that's not an area they specialize in or wish to work in.
