Eh, I don't think it's actually one or the other. Google has taken on rewriting some more problematic components in rust. See for example: Binder kernel driver

  Yeah, there's also a freetype replacement https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations I think they're trying to avoid rewriting things for no reason though. The things being rewritten tend to have a history of security problems or other issues that would be cause for a rewrite even if it wasn't in Rust.
