So in an article about high/extreme performance systems, you're ignoring the vast majority of them because you don't agree with the tool used to achieve said performance? What..?

I guess because using other programming languages proves the point that there are other approaches, instead of reinforcing the status quo.
Exactly this
I believe that performance is irrelevant without correctness and security.

My opinion is that C and C++ can't bring enough security and correctness guarantees for mere mortals (lack of tooling, language features...).

Yes some correct and secure programs are written in C and C++ but it's not and will never be the norm.
