Because you already have megabytes of C code to start with, such as NaCL library or OpenSSH. And most of this code is written well-enough to be converted.
So, try, find onversion error and fix - and you'll get working full-featured program much sooner than if you sit down and rewrite it on Rust from scratch (although I believe that rewriting mature program, and, especially library from scratch could significally imporove it and get rid of tons of outdated junk).
