I know that ~70% of embedded systems are programmed with C, lots of movement or at least motivation is seen on moving to Rust. My question is: why this languages are good for embedded software development? And overall what would constitute a good PL for this domain?

Because the people who make the embedded systems SoC / SoM / etc. provide support, sample code, and IDEs/libraries for C and not for Rust.
