Really?
GCC is now developed in C++.
Clang is developed in C++.
Mac OS X I/O Kit makes use of a C++'s subset.
Windows drivers can be done in C++ since Windows Driver Kit 8, while most new native APIs since Vista are COM based. With Microsoft only supporting enough C99 to comply with C++11/14, while helping porting FOSS C projects to Windows.
OS/400, BeOS and Symbian make use of C++ on the kernel.

Many new NoSQL databases are done in C++.
I see the C usage actually decreasing.
