What's holding me? People writing software who are choosing C/C++ for legacy reasons only.

When I use C or C++, it's certainly not for legacy reasons. And my use of it doesn't prevent you from using a different language.

I do not use C++ just for legacy reasons. And frankly I do not give a flying fuck about holding people like yourself. You are free to do as you please, do not expect others to provide for you.

Other languages need tooling and featurefulness that is overall on par with C++ first. So far no low level language has profilers and debuggers that are as good, none have nearly as many compiler hints, and most are far harder to write zero overhead abstractions in.
