> I could see it occurring someday

"Someday" is on the order of decades here. By that time Rust will be a hoary legacy language with a list of warts longer than an ISO standard.

Nonsense, WG21 is committed to ensuring C++ has more warts and sharp edges than any other language on the planet.

I don't agree. Rust very much wants to be a C++ alternative in all (I mean all) respects.

Not really. The lack of fields in traits or a classical inheritance system is pretty strongly missed by some people coming from C++.
