_I_ am not moving the goalposts. It was said that Google was adopting Rust, and that this was proof of C++'s unsuitability. I pointed out that Google has a comparatively tiny adoption of Rust (at least to my knowledge), and now I'm suddenly being asked to defend the position “Rust isn't used anywhere at Google”? That's a strawman. I mean, Google uses x86 assembly code, too, but not at any large enough scale that it shows intent to move from C++ to assembly.
