I kind of agree with your sentiment, however nothing prevents you from using any subset of the language you like. Even down to plain C.
There is in fact enough competition for C++, but none of it ever seems to get any traction. C and C++ are too deeply rooted into the system. Just like you can't convince Americans to use the metric system ?
