I can, because due to Windows team love for COM and C++, many extension points require doing exactly that.

Want to extend the context menu actions, or add new thumbnail capabilities for a recent file format?

It is exactly that.

Even with WinRT Runtime Components, they were doing in a way that some APIs were only surfaced when using the components from C++.

Quite a different approach from OS / language teams at Apple and Google, where productivity with better languages has a priority no matter what.
