I don't think this is true, but I don't know this for sure. From what I have read it seems that 'only' Bloomberg, Meta and Microsoft that uses c++ with exceptions.

And since both microsoft and meta are adopting rust in their services it seems to me that they are looking for another language than C++. (why else adopt a new language?)

Following seems not to use exceptions(?)

LLVM: https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#do-not-use-rtti-o...

AWS: (seems to be using Google's guidelines to be fair)

Webkit: https://gist.github.com/derofim/df604f2bf65a506223464e3ffd96...

Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/exceptionsafety.html

gcc: https://gcc.gnu.org/codingconventions.html#Exceptions

Unreal: (not totally sure, but I think it uses error codes internally)

Most of the embedded world. + any console game you ever played or heard of.
