C++ has a pretty steep learning curve, yet people use it.

Many things in tech are tradeoffs. Sometimes the additional tools a language brings to the table are worth the learning curve, sometimes they aren't. There are people in the industry for which FP (or Rust, or whatever) is worth it. For you it isn't. That's life.

C++ has 30+ years of libraries, so does C. To even think you can compare Rust and C/C++ on that matter is not realistic.
