Sorry, I don't see it that way (and I don't entirely agree with your characterisation of what new Rust changes do, certainly not all of them). I think that both Rust and C++ are fundamentally built around a design concept that I find distasteful and wrong-headed for low-level programming -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24840818; I guess you can call it too much implicitness aimed to make the language appear something it isn't when printed on the page. Rust does it somewhat more elegantly than C++ and perhaps has other justifications for it (like sound guarantees) -- which is why I prefer it to C++, although not enough to justify a large investment until it has a significant market share -- but it espouses the same foundational design aesthetics. I think that whether people like or dislike Rust mostly has to do with whether they find that aesthetic appealing. I'm sure many people do and many people don't.

BTW, I haven't "adopted" Zig that I would need to drop it for anything (it's not even 1.0 yet). I'm still with C++ for the time being. But I'm deeply impressed by Zig's revolutionary design and complete rethinking of low-level programming that I'm keeping a watchful and hopeful eye on it.
