Do you really believe that a C++-specific package manager (PM) repo would somehow be much more up to date than an OS one? Why? Any PM repo will eventually be missing something you need, and then you will have to compile it yourself, and if you've done that a few times you should have an idea of the difficulty involved in providing a set of compiled dependencies for one system, nevermind multiple versions of multiple systems. I don't doubt the usefulness of the Python, Ruby, and Node PMs, but those libraries mostly depend only on the interpreter and other interpreted code. It's just so much simpler. The fact that it's all going through an interpreter (compiled specifically for that system by the system PM in most cases!) solves so many of the problems.
