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 are compilers that use the same back end as a comparable
C and C++ compiler. The first MS Fortran compiler (that I knew of)
used the same back end (pass 2 and 3) as a Pascal compiler.
