Nice assumption. Much of the software I use is actually implemented in Rust. And soon, I'll be using an operating system that's 100% written in Rust, with a 100% Rust Servo-powered web browser. It's only a matter of time.
In addition, I've also implemented my servers (web server included) in Rust, and they have zero dependencies upon C/C++ software, so your entire point is rendered invalid.
