Right. That's exactly what I was agreeing to.
And the current C++ ABI stability plays a big part in that, contrary to the hell it was earlier (and worst on Windows because there were more than one mainstream compiler).

I thought that Windows people used COM for ABI because it is well defined.

COM has nothing to do with C++ objects, although there are Microsoft C++ extensions to the language to make it easy to work with it inside C++.
You can use COM in a pure C program.
