What got Rust adoption if anything was human factor, most folks adopting it never programmed in Ada, Object Pascal, Modula-2, Delphi,...

They weren't even born when we were using them, or if they were their toys were actually toys not systems programming languages.

Rust was their first encounter with systems programming, and Standard ML linage, after lots of Python, Ruby and JavaScript, and most likely never seen anything else other than C and C++. Most likely that also believe the fairy tale of C being the very first systems programming language.
