Well there might be a defense of that one.

"Data-oriented programming" (to distinguish from object-oriented) is largely C-style C++ that is written for performance rather than reusablility/abstractness/whatever. In the embedded programming world where performance is paramount, a lot of people have low opinions of many C++ features. One could also never completely trust compilers to implement everything correctly.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing. Google usually has a good reason for what they do (not everyone is always happy with the reason, but Google can always explain why they do stuff).

I come from an embedded background, and understand that.
