I can't think of why anyone would object to good changes to make GDB be
a better C++ debugger.

(Good in the sense of technically sound, and doesn't regress support
for other languages in unfixable ways).

If someone, or some entity wants to make his/its priority making
that happen, that's a different issue.

GDB doesn't need to be the "best" C++ debugger in the world
to debug itself.  Unless we consider GDB's support so awful that
we won't be able to debug GDB -- I don't, and I support the
change --, I consider that goal independent of the switch to
implementing GDB in C++.
