All valid points. I agree that C++ as a whole is insanely big and complex and I can't even dream nor that I want to know about every nook and cranny.
None of this however precludes me for writing well behaved software using subset of modern C++ that I actually need. The good thing is that when I need some esoteric feature that will help me to to this and that - it is always there and is quickly searchable thanks the the Internet.
I prefer wide array of C++ choices especially when it comes to supporting various paradigms and techniques to a stricter set in Rust for example.
I do see that real C++ experts (I am not the one) can get frustrated with the language but I think we have different goals in general. Being a programmer I do run my own business and I believe ROI wise C++ is more beneficial for my situation (I do use multiple languages when needed / requested by clients).
