C++ has DECADES of content to use. even if you filter everything that's outdated, the sheer quantity of libraries made in c or c++ first and then having either rust bindings or a third party conversion to rust as a hobby project is orders of magnitude bigger than the ammount of libraries and frameworks made with and for rust. Older c++ programs also had the "perk" of compiling and running even when there was some memory leak or other problem and, in production, many times the deadline is so strict that a developer has to ship something bugged and just add a note somewhere saying "if you use function X, it will freeze or crash". the Rust Compiler won't let you ship a program without fixing the problem first
