Google and Apple were the biggest contributors.

Well, for Apple, C++ is relevant only in the context of Metal shaders (a C++14 subset) and IO/DriverKit (an embedded C++ like subset), everything else is about Objective-C and Swift, with C++17 being good enough for whatever else they need.

Likewise on Google style, it is all about C++ guidelines at Googleplex, where even not all C++17 features are welcomed.

Everyone else seems more interested in C++ features for their own platforms rather than contributing to upstream (thanks license), so there you go.
