You'd be surprised to learn that embedded systems people do use templates for various things -- among which, maybe the most "paradoxical" is to avoid code bloat.
Embedded C++ was a mistake, alas a mistake that seems to last.
The "seems to last" point is the significant one. Not your superstitions about what I do or don't know about.
