I think that it must have something to do with the visual nature of LabVIEW pushing people to use the visual side of the brain, which can get pretty cluttered when trying to conceptualize a camera control system. Not to mention how C++'s OOP paradigm lets you reimplement the camera controller into your own custom class the way that you conceptualize it best. It's like the difference between C and C++, except that in C the programs actually have a greater chance of not having bugs than C++.

P.S. LabVIEW doesn't qualify as a programming language!
