Because that is how the real world works, regardless of many of us get annoyed to have people coding in C with C++ compilers.

Beautiful modern C++ unfortunately only exists in conference slides, recent C++ books, and top performer teams.

My main use for C++ outside hobby coding, is to integrate native code into managed runtimes, most of the time the code looks closer to C with Classes than anything past C++11, even if it was newly written yesterday.
