There is just a lot of inertia. Rust fanboys completely ignore the fact that C++ is a lot more mature. I have seen so much "the codebase is a disgrace, I bet we can rewrite everything in Rust in a couple weeks". Never materialised. Maybe starting with some humility would have helped, I don't know. Willing to burn down everything in order to use the new shiny tool is a junior move. Rust is sometimes a better fit, C++ is sometimes a better fit. With time, Rust (or I think more Rust + other modern languages) may replace C++ almost everywhere. No need to get violent about it.
