Thanks for reading.
Yeah true, legacy code must be a factor. If most people in C++ are working in legacy code bases that don't leverage many thrid-party packages then I guess there is little desire to standardize on a third-party package manager.
Another issue is more social. C++ has lots of package managers which is almost worse than declaring Conan the standard. Communities standards are hard to retro fit I guess?
(Not to pick on C++ by the way. Every popular language eventually sees itself competing with newer incumbents. It's like the innovators dilemma for PL. )
