It would be a red flag if you were interviewing for react and decided to bring up vue or svelte or angular or whatever else as well.
It’s not like it’s only this C++/Rust type deal that is being picked on. Although I would suggest that rust fans tend to be particularly ardent and loud at the current moment, so interviewers may be far more turned off of you as a person just for bringing it up. Interviewers probably felt this way about people bringing up Python 20 years ago (Python devs of yore were WAY WAY worse about their “HAVE YOU HEARD THE WORD?!” Than rust devs are today), blockchain 7 years ago, etc.
Anyway. As an interviewee, I’d probably try to avoid being the one to bring up alternative technologies.
