Take a look at the C++ community discussion around the feasibility of "ABI breaks". The C++ community is acknowledging the issues, and how they're getting in the way of continued "dominance" in many sectors.
I am fully aware of them, a vocal minority that only cares about FOSS libs.

Why do you think Apple has spent such a big effort making Swift work for shipping binary libraries?

Most devs would just stick with Objective-C, C and C++ otherwise.
