I'm not arguing C++ is better than C since I have never worked on a non-trivial pure C codebase. I'm just saying enough things from C++ are not available that even tough the language is roughly a subset of C++, how you end up using it is completely different and not a lot of experience/patterns carry over. Even less for Rust I'd say.
