I think it's because they don't focus on interop with other 
languages, especially other than C. It's "my way or the highway". 
And Rust provides many benefits over C/C++ making people willing 
to make the complete switch.

In comparison, D is trying to be a language that can partially 
replace and interact with existing C++ codebases, even adding 
language features to support such workflow.

Not arguing whether one behavior is better than the other, but 
it's easier to force programmers to redesign their programs if 
they don't have an easy transition path. If it's a hard 
transition path, might as well, do the redesigns at this point.
