Your statements are correct for the status quo. However, things begin to change. Systems are getting more and more complex so that test cases and basic verification is not sufficient anymore. There is a real demand for better languages than C++ (there is not even a basic verification standard for C++ compilers). The rising popularity of languages like Rust and Zig speaks for itself. Even Microsoft is evaluating Rust right now. They must have good reasons for that.
Regarding C however I believe it will stay much longer than C++ (if not forever) because of its simplicity, and because developers like me consider it a "high-level assembler".
According to the demand for better languages, Ada (2012 and 2020) gets reconsidered even by world class embedded systems professionals. Jack Ganssle, a guy who is pretty well known in the embedded world, confessed to be a huge fan of Ada. Guess why.
