Why is C often used over C++ in osdev
Because it's traditional to use C for freestanding stuff but C++ is as capable as C to be use for freestanding code. For example here is a bootloader written in hight level C++ https://github.com/skiftOS/skift/blob/main/src/loader/loader.cpp

OpuntiaOS – an operating system targeting x86, ARMv7, Aarch64
> I'm not sure why one would write a new OS in C++ in 2021/2022
numbers of hobby C++ OS started from scratch which went from zero to GUI in a couple years: at least 4 - SerenityOS, this, https://github.com/skiftOS/skift, https://github.com/Supercip971/WingOS
how many in other languages ?

SkiftOS: Simple, handmade operating system for the x86 platform
What touches me the most is how much I like the GUI applications look like [0][1]. As a person, who use GNOME Shell DE I really miss to see the titlebars condensed with the menu just like VSCode does. It was what I liked in the very last Unity DE and I happy to see this once again. I am also amazed how simple the TextEditor is [2][3] and how handy looks your libwidget components. Congratulations!

Get him to join the OSDev discord chat. Most of the people there started learning programming in the middle of the pandemic and are now building complex projects. Group is mostly kids his age, 12-16 year olds, learning to hack around. Like this 13 year old or this 15 year old.

Do I have to go to top CS universities abroad to get into FAANG/companies with FAANG-like salaries?
If you had put all those time into 1 long term project or two, like that highschool kid I linked above who nearly got a Google SWE internship, or like this 14 year old kid who started learning how to build an operating system last year in lockdown time and now has this to show for, you would've been miles ahead of the competition and interning at Google by your freshman year or have strong chance to get into FANG by the time you graduate. Instead you are here, thinking about what school to waste money on, scheming about a several year plan where you have a smaller chance get to one of these FANG companies. I said smaller chance because you can't just transfer from a top PH university to a US target school for CS unless you won a renowned international competition, your best chance then in your proposed path is either:
