Regarding ScyllaDB:

Do they really get all that just because it's in C++? Anyone familiar with both of them?

While C++ does have an advantage of raw performance it's ScyllaDB's seastar implementation that helps a lot. Think of every core in the machine as a node so there is no context switching and better use of the cpu cache. More than that the ScyllaDB team are extremely performance focused something that I can't say for Cassandra
