Eh, C++ can hardly be criticized to pandering to the flavor of the month.
For example, lambdas were finally added only in C++11 even though while the STL had a functional flavor since the late '90s and sorely needed lambda expressions. Only after people went out of their way to build lambdas on top of macros, expression templates and whatnot, they were finally added to the language.
