Microsoft is hard at work rewriting risky C code into Rust (old presentation mentioned here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-11-build-ships-with-more-rust-based-kernel-features/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/new-windows-...). They're also actively working on things like their Rust framework for Windows drivers.
I don't know about Apple. I'd expect them to go for Swift rather than Rust, but Darwin doesn't seem to include any such code yet.
Linux is full of C developers who don't want anything to do with Rust actively working against the current Rust for Linux experiment. I expect Linux to end up lagging behind Apple and Microsoft in this area because of the difference in organisational structure and priorities.
