The problem with conan is that it is yet another language-specific package manager. This is especially fatal since the importance of pure C and C++ projects is shrinking in proportion, and both are more and more used in cross-language projects. And for the latter, I think a Linux distribution or a system like GNU Guix is much better suited.
