It's more like everybody is forced to use C++ for everything. Would you rather write a distributed transactional system in C++/CORBA or in Java? How much time are you going to lose by choosing C++ and in debugging it comparing to Java? Or even substitute Assembly language for C++. (Disclaimer: I love C++, this is just an example)
