But that's my point - I knew about every one of those except discord just by following Rust marginally. Also Microsoft and Google etc. reported using it for various bits and peaces.
My impression is that if a company does something in Rust there's going to be blogposts about it and the engineers involved are active community members.
OP argued that there is a silent majority working along on Rust as is and getting caught unexpectedly with the changes - I'm just not seeing that.
It's a legitimate question. I can't be sure there is such a silent majority. I do know there are a dozen people using Rust at my company, none well-known, and we haven't blogged about it or publicised it.

You must recognise that this is pure availability bias, right?

I'm comparing to stuff I hear from local dev community and job postings - but again this is just my impression - I'd like to see some actual stats on this .
