Rust is well-suited to systems programming.
Most programmers do not code at that level.

I think that to make Rust more suitable to a wider set of problems, they need to figure out how to add a garbage-collected reference type. (I get the impression from some posts I've seen that they've tried this in the past, but gave up.)
As it stands, everything in the program has to be managed by reference counting, borrowing or exclusive ownership. This can be rather onerous, and there are often a lot of parts of a large program that just don't need the performance that those give. C++ is mostly in a simil
