No, it's because writing software in C++ is like riding your bike in the middle lane of a highway with no helmet on.

If you're really really careful, it can work fine, and your trip will be efficient and productive. But it's really hard to do it properly -- you could hit a car (buffer overflow), you could get hit by someone (heap overflow), or your brakes might give out (input sanitization fail).

It's not that it's impossible or that it's a "bad idea", it's just that it'd be a lot safer to spend the extra resources on a motorcycle (Python) or an SUV (Rust).
