I actually disagree, while Rust has a great deal of features it’s still significantly easier to read. A big part of that I think comes from not having implicit function overloads and having not succumbed to the multitude of bikeshed acceptable language subsets C++ has developed over the many years it has existed. The rust you write on a microcontroller isn’t actually that different than the rust you’d write for a web app. Perhaps a clear sign that the parents statement is evidently incorrect is the acceptance of rust and the utter denial of C++ in the Linux kernel, where developers demand readability. Part of that may very well be what Rust provides as a feature set is enticing enough to work with whatever readability issues have come up.
