It's not really a choice of low-level or high-level. Neither is better than the other.
It's about choosing the right language for the task at hand. Some work will really be suited (or only be feasible) with a low-level language and vice-versa.
If I'm writing a command-line tool on the order of ripgrep or working on a microcontroller embedded in a dishwasher, I'm not going to go to Java. That would be weird and awkward. And if I'm writing a new 3D AAA-level game, I'm going to jump to something maybe even higher level like UE5 - trying to do all that in Rust would be a PITA.
