I am not sure. C++ is a tool. I use what my company and companies in my domain use. I wouldn't mind using Rust, but there's just very little momentum. So meanwhile I do my best with what we have.
Personally, I care more about what I do than which tool I am using.
Rust is not the only thing that “isn’t C++”. Go is not appropriate for every domain either but you can bet your bottom dollar that it has taken market share from C++ - which I think the world is on the overall balance better off for, and I don’t particularly like Go as a language.
Someone is making gobs of money off of OCaml.

I don’t agree with the implication that these are independent factors.
And I do get it. The Rust ecosystem founders in many areas and the RIIR meme crew on forums is annoying. That doesn’t forgive the failings of the C++ ecosystem.
