Part of this is due to resources, but a lot has to do with how the language itself is defined unfortunately. People working on the linux kernel are definitely interested in performance (and remember they are using any programming language is a significantly different fashion than other programmers). People coming from C++ likely initially chose that language because it was advertised as the most performant.
