We are talking not only about Rust, but also about C and C++. There are lots of C++ UI applications. Rust poses itself as an alternative to C++, so it is definitely intended to be used for UI applications too - it was created to write a browser!
At work I am using tools such as uv [1] and ruff [2], which are user-facing (although not GUI), and I definitely appreciate a 16x speedup if possible.
