They are trying to convince people to use C++ instead of Rust for new projects. No one with old C++ code is going to switch to these future hipster standards, let alone even C++14. I think this standard bloat is digging its own grave. It will have the opposite effect. People who want the new shiny stuff will use the new shiny thing (Rust). The old timers will stay on C++11 all the way to 2070 when a man or machine finally rewrites everything in $(new lang).
