Plenty, because despite the noise around the alternatives, even those alternatives are built with help of GCC and LLVM, written in C++ and aren't getting any rewrite short term.
Then there are whole industries where only C, C++ and Assembly matter, including standards, so it will take a while for new contenders to be taken seriously on such industries.
gcc and LLVM being written in C++ is ortogonal to the demand for new projects to use C++.
Kind of, keeps them relevant, when the alternatives aren't bootstraped.
