> Apple decided to refocus from Object Pascal into C++

IIRC Apple went and made Objective-C(/C++) and then eventually Swift. Not sure if they actually embraced C++ all that much - did they really?

Completely off the charts.

I am talking about Apple after Jobs was kicked out.

You missed the part where NeXT licensed Objective-C from Stepstone, Apple bought NeXT as last survival action before bankruptcy, and OS X sprung out of NeXTSTEP.
