and.. Autostar C++, Misra C++, Cert C++ ... I could go on and on.

but as you rightly point out, the proof is in the pudding.

some of us actually enjoy going to work each day and creating 
great software for our customers...and having to type a 
getter/setter doesn't bother us one little bit ;-)

the alternative is just make everything public, and watch our 
customer systems fail terribly, with all kinds of awful 
consequences...

.. not to mention, I'd be out of job if I stopped writing 
getters/setters ;-)
