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 .
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.
