I think it is logistics, infrastructure oriented vs language feature oriented. Looking at current PL landscape Go, Zig appears to be infrastructure oriented languages where features are just enough to keep infrastructure super fast. Whereas most other languages like Rust, Kotlin and so many more feature oriented if compiler gets fast, runtimes get better its nice but they'd rather work on long list of modern language features.
To be honest PL market feels similar to consumer market where gadgets with myriad smart features sell more than plain but solid machines.
