A minuscule fraction of the people coding what they call C++ at Google come to the committee meetings. Google's ancient, idiotic prohibition on RAII is not a thing the current attendees, or other employees, have a say about. Many, attending or no, would rather be coding sensibly. And, in any case, the ancient code you present is not how code is being written even at Google today. So, your point is hopelessly muddled.

There are shops where people still write new C++ like it's 2011, or 2003, or 1998, or 1992, or C. There are plenty of shops where people code the best way their current production compiler allows. There are plenty where different people do some of each of those. Vanishingly few shops make an effort to rewrite ancient code according to current best practice.

I guess a sweetshop company is one with Oompa-loompas.

One day I would appreciate to know where that perfect C++ world of yours exist in real world.

I guess I need to catch up with some Twilight Zone episodes.
