Aliasing, for one.
Plus, array's are a first class feature in Fortran. "But Eigen!" you retort. Sure, except this library I want to use uses MTL4, this other library that I need uses uBlas, and this other one uses MKL. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Pretty much if you can write Matlab you can write very highly performant Fortran without doing anything too special. Dealing with incompatible libraries, templates, and all the other stuff that C++ subjects you to is not 'easy'.
