Because Rust is equally a terrible language to work with unless you're aligned with the objectives of the languages. Go is a bigger language than Rust, it's not surprising to see people move over, that doesn't mean it's going to get used. You're also vastly underestimating the number of people who otherwise like C++ and wish there was just an easier to use version. For example - if 'Magic Carbon' somehow got rid of the ugly parts of C++, integrated smart pointers into the syntax, made the tooling, builds more robust, and somehow made it possible to integrate with C/C++, it'd be my new favourite language.
