One thing is that a large fraction of C/C++ devs are hired by big companies. And those tend to have a large amount of legacy code and in-house tooling. Adding one more language to such big ecosystem can be a significant investment than kicking off a new project from scratch, so they need a good transition story to convince stakeholders and get actual funding(=more headcount/jobs).
I think Rust has reached to the level where many of us agree on that it's probably a good idea to move on, but probably not many of us have a good idea on how to do that. Hopefully some teams are eager to do that, so we will see some success story soon then more and more teams will explore such possibility.
