Drivers are usually not done in C++ because using C++ then compiling the code does not allow direct access to the hardware, thus drivers are usually written in assembly. Assembly usually has more direct access to the hardware where C++ cannot, but again this also depends on the OS. Even assembly can have it limitations based on the OS due to security concerns.
