I think a significant factor in this is that C++ simply has better abstractions for building large codebases than C does. Any big enough C project is gonna turn out a bit funky.

For quite a long time now I have said that the future for the Linux kernel could easily be C++ rather than rust.

Rust is very cool and have no issue with it in the kernel tree but C++ would prevent so many bugs and eliminate so many lines of code. It's just ego.

This from the company with arguably the best security researchers on Earth, and probably unholy amounts of internal fuzzing and static analysis tooling

Note that the baseline is C not C++ used badly.
