The situation isn't all that implausible: e.g., many ESP32-based devices want to work with strings to interface with HTTP servers, and they do have C++ support, but the size limit is small enough that you can easily bump your head into it if you aren't careful.
Or anything processing JSON— it's nice to be able to get string views directly into the original payload without having to copy them into fixed size buffers elsewhere.
