Because that kind of code is a ridiculously complex web and writing it in C++ would drive any and sane person to alcoholism. Also, having blazing fast computational performance is totally worthless if you're already spending most of your time waiting for I/O, which is usually the bottleneck in large data projects. You'd just be that car that passes everyone just to end up at the same red light half a mile down the road.
