I mean, I’m a real programmer in the real world. I think most people on here are. Rust is already in heavy use at Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, it’s not some fringe thing anymore.

I have worked at two of the companies you’ve mentioned, and I can confirm Rust is not heavily used in these companies. Maybe a few teams use it, but it’s not really supported, and you won’t find many internal libraries and tooling support for it.

They’re using it to write useful, novel production systems software though. Fuchsia is in Google Nest Hub, AWS Firecracker is used in ECS Fargate and fly.io. I would say those represent major commitments to the language, and they’re both also novel as systems projects too.
