Yes, I agree with you, but I make this point because C++ gives me the same direct access to the hardware. I can always just write C (or inline assembly, if I really have to go there). That's why my last embedded project was written in C++. There was a core that implemented SPI by bit-banging GPIO registers, but wrapped around that was idiomatic C++.
