In Apple's case they wouldn't need to move everything to Rust. Swift is a little bit higher level and a lot of stuff could be moved into it, with Rust as the lower level layer to replace ObjC / C / C++.

Still a gargantuan effort, but for them it doesn't require everyone learn Rust, just to learn Swift, which is kind of table stakes for a lot of user facing dev I'm sure there.
