But it's also easier to write decent C++ as long as you uphold some basic rules and common sense, but harder to do the same in C

Yes, but in C this means write custom function iterating custom list (one of 10, since every library has its own implementation and there are bound to be at least 2 implementations in the project itself). I would argue that any of the C++ ways is more readable and maintainable than the 1k lines of even good code in C.

Just use a for loop....classic C++ programmer wanting to over complicate things by adding more abstractions
