It's never winner takes all. There is space enough for a whole lot of languages. Keep in mind in the early days of Python it was pushed by Google. They specifically looked and advertised for python developers. That is more of a push than any company ever did for Rust.
Rust barrier to entry compared to C/C++ is debatable. Lots of universities for instance have courses in them. They have a whole lot of books and a large community out there.
I disagree about 2 and Rust. Those companies have projects in them and they are a part of rust foundation. They are however not mass employing Rust developers and only AWS has components for core stuff in Rust. Of course it is debatable for what is a core component.

You know Python is older than Google by several years right? ;) When this happened, Python was older than Rust today. > That is more of a push than any company ever did for Rust. Microsoft recently made Rust a officially language for developing Windows Native apps[1] and they've advertised the use of the language quite a bit during the past year. Google just released its new operating system developed with as much Rust as C and C++ combined[2]. Also, Facebook and AWS have hired members of the Rust development team after Mozilla's layoff last year to continue their work on Rust.
