They don't call it C++ because that sounds too difficult. But it's literally, not like a simplified subset that compiles into an IL using a formally proven tool, but as in literally compiled using GCC as, C++.

Calling it c++ might give the wrong impression to some people too, since it doesn't have the STL, rtti, or exceptions for boards like the Uno r3.

It is c++ though. Just limited in similar ways to the US air force's requirements for using the language.
