Are you really putting make and CMake in the same bag? POSIX make and Plan 9 mk are incredibly simple, compared to autotools/CMake; even BSD/GNU make, with all their extensions, are quite simple. Personally, after having gone through a lot (GNU make, sh script + POSIX make, CMake + conan at work), I think a simple POSIX 2024 make + pkgconf(ig) really is enough for simple programs; and Windows devs can use WSL or whatever.
