The title is a little weird. The problems outlined are mostly about the community and governance, not the language.
To address at least one part of this: rewriting things in Rust. I think this is less about security and more about people wanting to scratch their own itch. Instead of improving existing tools, which is not seen as appealing, programmers write alternatives in Rust. You can flip this on its head and say that existing tools are not welcoming to new contributors and are failing to attract them.
