It's only relatively recently that D open source compilers became available. And by that point it felt too much of an incremental improvement over C++ to seriously gain traction, imho. The design also feels dated in places compared to rust (not talking about the borrow checker ; more about the type declaration syntax, not being expression based, no ADTs or pattern matching, etc.)
