Hello.

I'm the author of the mentioned project. It's indeed a very annoying opinion. Although there are indeed some difficulties in writing an operating system and quite some runtime support to implement, I would say that it's worth it only to have a more powerful language. I'd rather use a language that I really like rather than be forced to use one I don't really care about.

I cannot say that C++ is the best language to develop an operating system, but I would definitely say that it's possible if you really know the language. And you don't have to use the complete language (I didn't enable exceptions nor RTTI in my OS).
