If it empowered everyone, it would be available on other OSes than Linux, Windows, and macos (ok, it is available on Android and iOS apparently and some *BSD variants too).
I'd love to use Rust - but my business requires support for, (in addition to Linux and Windows), Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and OS400 for me to serve my customer base.
Rust can't empower me there, it simply isn't available.
