Doing Ada exclusively can really limit one's geographic local. 
Working in C and C++ does not pose such strict boundaries.   You can
do C and C++ in most major metro areas.   Finding a good Ada project to
work on in your favorite metro area can be a far more daunting task.
Ada simply doesn't have the market saturation that C/C++ enjoys.

If you want to be stable geographically, limiting your language of
choice
to just Ada can be extremely frustrating.
