My admittedly uninformed impression of Rust is that its a lot like Go (in spirit?), a language invented to shepherd novice programmers into not making mistakes with resource usage.
I imagine faceless shameless mega-corps with thousands of Rust/Go peons coding away on the latest soulless business apps. Designed to funnel the ignorant masses down corridors of dark pattern click bait and confusing UX.
Having exposed my biases, happy to be proven wrong. Why are game studios still using C++? Because that's the language game programmers know and feel comfortable with? Or some other reason?
Embedded is still C, games are C++, scientific and data are Python and R (I'm talking in general here). What is the niche for Rust?
