The Linux kernel abstractions are very high level. Look at how entirely

The distance between the levels of indirection is less than in C++.

Do you have any examples of C++ code that deals with the levels of
indirection in the Linux kernel?

Consider how a network-based filesystem is accessed:

filesystem API ← VFS layer ← network filesystem layer ← network stack ← network protocol

Look at the number of levels. And that’s actually a simplification.
