While I work in a field where such things are necessary (real-time audio programming), I doubt that such things are relevant for someone just starting out with C++...

Oh yeah, I definitely agree. I don't think it's relevant for someone just starting out. Just wanted to put it out as an example

you'd be amazed at the amount of people who start learning C++ because they want to write VSTs

True, but they would probably use a framework like JUCE which does a great job at hiding the complexity. Writing a VST3 plugin from scratch is not for the faint of heart.
