I think once things get established the people in charge see any attempt to change it as some kind of personal insult, so they just go into defence mode. You see the same thing e.g. with Python - for literally decades they've denied that performance matters and it's really only recently that that has changed.
I think it will only get worse for C++ because the people who understand this stuff have mostly given up on C++.
