(having no first hand experience with WG21) Many people think there are a lot of problems with C++ committee and the standards process. Some would claim that the ISO governance model doesn't work at all. There is a lot of drama that the outside world has no idea about, because much of the discussion is behind closed doors. You can look it up (e.g. on blogs and /r/cpp), but I am not linking to anything because lots of content is very biased and hard to verify. Something that is not controversial and worth a read is https://thephd.dev/embed-the-details https://thephd.dev/embed-the-details and you can see the point. I do feel the TC39 (the group behind the ECMAScript/JavaScript standard) seems more practical and effective. There are disagreements and dramas but not nearly as bad as with C++.
