Can you link to that quote, because I can find where he's said that in
relation to the lack of a processor written in C++?

IBM and Intel now have XSLT 2.0 processors, so they must have had a
compelling reason.

XOM is written by Elliotte Rusty Harold, so the above quote would be
strange if it were correct.

Could it just be that the world has moved on from C++?
