C++ is governed by ISO, an international standards organization with 165 member nations.

Rust is governed by the Rust Foundation, a US-based 501(c)6 trade association.

Given that, which language do you think Evil Corp has more influence in changing?

Rust is not governed by the Rust Foundation. Rust is governed by the Core Team and the teams under them.

It all depends on who is actually vocally participating, and on how interested corporate is in the results. E.g. Tuvalu does not send anybody.

Corporate does not care about the outcome of most things. When they do, the number of their employees involved can give them undue influence.

It can be surprising to outsiders both how corporations influence the process, and also that they sometimes care to.
