What issue is there for the C++ developers to transition?

Rust is a simpler language, with better characteristics. Memory safety is the a big selling point for the business people, but there is also a better module system, dependency management, better generics, no hidden memory allocation, etc. etc.



Rust is not, in the end, a simpler language, in the same way C is not. It is able to do less, which leaves me needing to do more.

rust is lacking a ton of libraries.

And personally I prefer using a big thing like Qt which has classes for everything, rather than rust where I have to find a non-terrible library for every little thing.
