Rust is pretty much the only language that runs well on all of front-end, back-end, iOS, Android, Windows & MacOS, with decent UI bindings.

Javascript is the only real competition, but the needed shims are lossy at times.

C++ is the closest, but Dioxus and Cacao are nicer than anything in the C++ ecosystem AFAICT.

It's perhaps not the ideal language for any of those, but there's substantial benefit to having your whole team in the same ecosystem.
