That is a concern but the other risk is by not doing this the language progresses in areas people happen to currently use it, which will be skewed by what it's already good at. You can then end up never improving for those cases it's weakest. This covers types of programs but also experience levels and histories of the programmers themselves.
You are right however that you need to carefully pick the tasks to fit with the original aims of the language.
Perhaps a good way of phrasing this is "why aren't X people using rust for Y?".
