I think this is something that's slowly, but surely, changing. There's a lot of adoption of Bazel from some big players out there (Uber, Bloomberg, etc). The Blaze team @ Google has also started incorporating outside OSS maintainers into their OSS software (specifically rules_python). Things are improving. Many of the things you've addressed (third party libraries, cross compiling, dynamically linking things) have been talked about by many people in Bazel's slack. It might not be flawless currently but Bazel's abstractions of how builds work are cool, RBE/caching is amazing for large projects, and a single build system with the promise of gracefully handling "every" language is something our field has been needing for some time. In 3 to 10 years I can imagine being able to start writing code and never think about which language some library I want to use is written in, which package manager and toolchain I need to use to build everything, how to package my code to be deployable in production, how to setup unit tests, how to get autocompltions and docs and everything in my IDE, etc. The answer could just be "bazel, a language server, an IDE that speaks lsp".
