I assume Linux enthusiasts (other than myself?) would rather just go with C++ and find all sorts of workarounds to get code running the same way a WindRiver project would.

You are correct. I'm using
this toolchain.
From what I understand, FIRST is skeptical of Linux because it would take a tremendous effort to port everything and to train their staff how to deal with Linux problems. They chose a system the majority of people use or can quite easily learn to use so they would reach a larger taregt audience. As more and more people start using and preferring Linux, I think they will make the switch. I think they also need to start opening up their software to the teams so as to get a wider base of ready and willing programmers so the porting would potentially go faster.
