Early Ada compilers had expensive licensing and required expensive hardware to run.
By the time GNAT was added to GCC, C++ had already taken over most of the spaces that were not Ada exclusive (meaning safety critical / defense / aerospace niches where either Ada was once mandated or has thrived in despite the original high costs).
