Likely because their engineers are more productive in C++?

Modern C++ with move semantics is a lot more easy to reason about and memory safe than C99, IMO.

Since it's a greenfield project, they didn't have to worry about the nasty baggage of legacy C++ spaghetti that kills most projects.

Just because you prefer "simple" C99 doesn't mean they do :)

Ironically, I think this comment is much more toxic than a developer writing free software in a language of their choosing.

You are right of course that c++ is abysmal. What your are overlooking is that C is an even bigger trash fire nuclear foot gun.
