The simplest answer is that these newer languages were created specifically to address problems with existing languages. If a new language has no compelling reason for anyone to switch to it, why bother to create it in the first place?

A new language starts because a set of developers has a problem, however that doesn't mean that others share that problem or agree to the choices and solutions made. Rust seems to be in a good situation where this worked for large parts, but many languages came and got no or only short attention.
