I have a vague hunch where Rust is chosen because of the good quality abstraction the language support that's missing from modern languages. I keep joking about it, but immutability is si valuable for general software development. None of the mainstream languages support that, but Rust achieves the same benefits (even if in a different way). Then the Rust type system is sound while modern languages are still dealing with problematic nulls and lack of advanced types (like what's possible with typescript)
