It was already ridiculous 40 years ago.
When I got introduced to C++ via Turbo C++ 1.0 for MS-DOS in 1993(!), I saw no longer a reason to do that other than being forced to deal with legacy C code.
Turbo C++ already came with collection classes, and RAII has been a thing since C++ no longer was named C with Classes.
Unfortunately re-education takes generations when a language happens to be copy paste compatible with C.
