Probably because they'll start adding features to the Zig version that might not be trivially portable to the C++ version due to architectural differences.

I think because Zig compilers can compile C but not C++.

Zig can compile C++ just fine. Which is no surprise, since it's Clang doing the heavy lifting - Zig provides the convenient CLI.
