C++ apps /do/ work, but only if they are Windows Store/Universal/WinRT Apps, not Win32. What prevents other native programs from running is that such applications need to be signed by Microsoft (similar as on the Windows RT tablets). So while Windows itself would indeed be capable of running such programs, Microsoft simply doesn't allow it (using artificial restrictions) on Windows 10 Mobile (it would also be a question in how far Windows 10 Mobile has e.g. the desktop or a console available, so even if there would be a chance to circumvent the restrictions you'd have the problem of displaying anything).
