Just about any place I know that uses C++ also does that with C++ so that's nothing unusual for C++ specifically. It's too big of a language to reason about very well if you don't, so you've gotta find a subset that works.

Too many patterns. If you do not do this every author will have a different use of the language and you will have to read a book of documentation each time you change files.
