Rust is newer and had less time to gain major projects, Golang was pushed harder into companies (I.e. I feel like I saw it adopted for work stuff earlier relatively speaking, compared to Rust where most of the enthusiasm I see is hobbyists), Rust's main (not only!) point of targeting C++'s domain is a lot more conservative and difficult target space than Go's. And in the overlap Go might have "captured" some projects that would've picked Rust if Rust had been the earlier one.
