Because many people, including myself, have been consistently experiencing better quality from Rust-written software.

Maybe it's the type of language that attracts people who are interested in getting the details right.

Or maybe the qualities of the language mean if a project manages to reachthe production stage, it will be better than an alternative that would reach the production stage because the minimal level of quality and checks required are better.

Or maybe it's because it comes with very little friction to install and use the software, because Rust software usually comes with a bunch of binaries from all popular platforms, and often, installers.

Or maybe the ecosystem is just very good.

Or maybe it's all together, and something more.

Doesn't matter.

The fact is, I did have a better experience with software written in rust that in Python, JS or even Go or Java.

And I appreciate knowing the software is not written in C or C++, and potentially contains problems regarding security, segfaults, and encoding that are going to bite me down the road, as it's been common in the last 30 years.

So "written in rust" is a thing I want to know, as it will make me more likely to try said software.
