Yes, but all of these are essentially all because the existing code is already based on C(++). We should be able to move to Rust sooner than people think.

Should ≠ will.

We still have Fortran and Cobol. It’s easy to imagine that Rust will replace C++ Real Soon Now, because you just have to imagine that all of the legacy code disappears, and Rust gets all the tooling support that C++ has.
