Might be the case that Ada folks successfully got a bad version of contracts not amenable for compile-time checking into C++, to undermine the competition. Time might tell.

I strongly doubt that C++ is what's standing in the way of Ada being popular.
Ada used to be mandated in the US defense industry, but lots of developers and companies preferred C++ and other languages, and for a variety of reasons, the mandate ended, and Ada faded from the spotlight.

Exactly. People stopped using Ada as soon as they were no longer forced to use it.
In other words on its own merits people don't choose it.
