That's not actually true of even a single compiler and never has been.
You are probably misinterpreting the reasons for a requirement of one
particular vendor's compiler. The reason has nothing to do with any
"compiling to C++".

And never will be true, either, you'd be nuts to do it that way.

There have been compilers that compile to C (NAG), but the OP is
probably referring to the Microsoft environment, where with some
compilers C++ needs to be installed, for reasons unrelated to the fact
that the Fortran compiler emits assembler.
