C++ people don't do CRUD webshit. C++ is for compilers, HFT, machine learning, browsers, search engines, robotics. When C++ touches "the web" it's in the form of something like Envoy or HAProxy, not exactly application layer. For CRUD webshit, there are literally hundreds of options out there that largely automate the entire process (Rails/Django/Spring). There is no reason to use C++ for it not just because of the timesink but because the lack of safety makes it an aggressively bad idea. You would get all kinds of "I thought that wasn't a problem in the 21st century anymore" type of problems.
