> C++ projects on the other hand can be huge and extremely complex. Think 4 hrs for a clean build, with 10+ people working on the same code base.

I'm not sure what this has to do with the language itself or why you think other languages don't also have large projects written in them.

OP sounds like an app developer. They are saying that apps typically aren’t projects of that size

And plenty of C++ projects also aren't projects of that size. I'm not sure what that has to do with whether or not OP should learn C++. Should OP not learn C because the Linux kernel is written in it?

Don't know why you're downvoted because you're absolutely right. Just because some very large C++ projects can take hours to build, I'd say this is not true for the majority of projects.
