I think people are very aware that c++ is a lot more verbose than Java. What's the advantage of making this particular comparison?

I actually think c++ is not necessary more verbose than java as a language.

But memory management/safety, weaker IDE support and ecosystem make it less productive than Java for business dev.

Wait until you see this new, hyped language called Go! That is even more verbose than both!
