That is the big point about Fortran that keeps getting overlooked. Sure heavily optimized C/Rust writting by an expert in writing fast numeric code will absolutely hold its own against the equivalent Fortran. However naively written C/Rust written by non-programmers in the clearest most obvious way possible will almost always be much slower than the equivalent Fortran code.
