Related to this pattern: I recently wondered why Casey Muratori (RAD Game tools, Handmade Hero etc.) seems to write C++ in a very C like fashion plus a few select features.

One of the takeaways is that he prefers the simplicity of C but uses operator overloading for similar reasons as you describe. One example includes addition of vectors, which is certainly a thing you do often in game and graphics related code.
