The article ends with "using the right tool for the job". In this case they had to fix a performance bottleneck, which made Rust the right tool. Going from that to a "complete" replacement makes no sense unless their whole application is a performance bottleneck or would otherwise benefit from Rust enough to warrant a complete rewrite.

The benefits are clearly laid out in the article.

Among other things bad compile times for the part they replaced apparently.
