Do people use them for that, and is it cost-effective?

Yes. They actually had a product, and IIRC, I had downloaded and tried it. I think they are some of the same folks who later founded PythonAnywhere, which I had also tried. I read recently somewhere that they were acquired by Anaconda.

You could connect a phone to it. I think I saw an old magazine article (maybe BYTE) about it once, which said that, and had a photo of it, with the phone. The Wikipedia article article says it had 3 phone jacks.

C++ too, right? Unless Bell Labs was spun out of AT&T before that. Stroustrup started C++ at Bell Labs as C with Classes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B

My semi-educated guess is that mainframes are a much bigger chunk still. (AS/400 is midrange. They are called something else now, I heard. Maybe I-series.) A lot of those indispensable infrastructure systems we all depend on, such as i
