Or even far less than that. I like to use it as C with lambdas and namespaces. Sprinkle in metaprogramming as needed. Even just not having to remember to call cleanup code thanks to dtors would alone be enough to sell me on it.

Only by people that started working in Web during the 2000's.

Back in the 90's, it was the main business language alongside Smalltalk, Delphi and VB.

Hence the plethora of C++ frameworks to chose from, sadly most dead since .NET and Java took over most of the use cases.

Honestly, I don't expect to find clients here. Fundamentally, you have to trust me to give me work. The amount of money doesn't really matter much to me.
