Projects written in Rust tend to be very fast - as fast as C++ or C code - but without the endless security issues. You may as well ask "why does it matter if this bridge is made of iron".
There are long lasting bridges made of stone, concrete and in the right climates, even wood. Not to mention rope when it suits the purpose. Each material has its own qualities, which means its own pros and cons in a given context.
