I agree with you about the ubiquity of the standard tools but this also has downside: bigger size of the deployment containers. Nowadays the distroless movement and the general zeal towards minimizing the overhead of a Docker image have the positive side-effect of making us less reliant on the older tools. So we can opt for newer ones (although it's very hard to beat 120KB of a classic old tool to 4MB of a new Golang/Rust tool still). As for rewriting in Rust, the main point for me is always the memory safety. When it comes to writing programs, there's a ton of very nice languages out there already.
