C++ treats backwards compatibility as important.

New code doesn't have to use old features.

Yeah but it's hard to manage in multiple ways. Is there good tooling to help? And it means a lot of references you could normally check are using features you can't use.

Plus none of your libraries are going to agree on what parts to use.
