That's *not* unique to C++. On my machine, /usr/lib contains
73 shared libs, and these are mainly C libraries.
If you want arguments against C++, try any of these:
C++ programs use a *lot* of header files, and these do in
general cause more work for the compiler than do the C header
files. This boils down to noticeably longer compile times.
C++ is a *much* larger language, with *much* more complicated
semantics and behaviour. A large proportion of C++ programmers do not
know the language well enough that they should be allowed to program
in it.
