Because Universities are smart enough to realize the easy route isn't always the best route. A better question to ask is why C++ is still relevant and highly used even after all of these decades; you'll find your answer in that question.
Don't base the things you do in life on if it's easy or hard. If you do that, you'll always seek out the easy route and evade the hard routes, even though the easy route may be the worst route. This is a basis that builds up a system of laziness from itself. Consider all things to be challenges, and work on conquering them regardless of their difficulty.

cuz c++ is the base language for many languages including those you said easy to learn, say, Python. But I would like to say Universities also pay mostly attention to make students learning Java.

C++ is the best language to learn first (or maybe second if you are having one semester with python or Introduction in C). After learning C++ every other language is easier, most probably you with new languages you will just learn new syntaxes.
