Golang and rust standardized nothing.
Golang and rust just provided implementations for features. Likewise, there's already a myriad of networking/file system libraries for C++. This is not a problem. The problem is to get to an abstraction that can work across all conceivable platforms. You can hack together something, but throwaway code should not feature in an international standard. See for example how Python's fs support is riddled with gotchas and outright bugs on platforms such as Windows.
In the meantime C++ already has things like Poco, boost, Qt, etc, not to mention platform-specific SDKs. Not a problem. Never was.
