LOL no, it's growing because people can't get the performance and battery life they want out of other languages and it's a hugely entrenched player with a gigantic existing ecosystem and is able to seamlessly call into all existing C code as well. Language features after C++11 (arguably C++98) have very little to do with new growth except keeping interest by showing it's alive and spurring book sales and conference tickets. Most libraries still target old versions of the standard and don't use most new features. C++14 vs C++17 vs C++20 makes very little difference for 99% of users. Most people are not using polymorphic allocators to deserialize Unicode inside their constexpr DSL parser.
