IntelliJ has two totally different meanings, by itself the name doesn't really identify a product.
IntelliJ Community is pretty much just a Java (and other JVM language) IDE.
IntelliJ Ultimate works with all the languages that work with their other IDEs (Python, Go, JavaScript, ...). This is the one you're talking about. C++ isn't listed even for this though [1]
It's definitely confusing, even if Ultimate did support C++, because IntelliJ is primarily billed as a Java IDE. And with PyCharm, for example, the free vs paid difference is many useful extra features but still primarily aimed at the same language. Maybe they should've just called it JetBrains Ultimate IDE or something, rather than mentioning their Java IDE.
