I've been keeping an eye on this space as well, and while I agree with your first point, I have to say that I'm really more interested in the groundwork that these kind of efforts may lay for the future. For example, I know that there's currently a company called Foresight Mining Software[1] that is aiming to build a CAD product, in Rust, using the Bevy game engine (also written in Rust) on the backend. Even if it's not entirely FOSS, they are open-sourcing aspects[2] of their work that could help to accelerate the development of FOSS platform, or at the least, could eventually lead to true cross-platform general-purpose mechanical CAD support for platforms like Linux so that users aren't tied to Windows and the Dassault/Autodesk ecosystem.
