Apparently modern GPUs have sorting-networks implemented in hardware (giving you effectively constant-time sorting for fixed-size input) - which may be preferable for use if you’re processing hostile input which may be contrived to hit QuickSort’s worst-case and the cost of hitting the PCI Express bus is less than the cost of randomizing the input to mitigate QuickSort attacks.

But yes - I agree it’s weird that many standard-libraries (looking at you, .NET!) have only a single `Sort` method oh their vector-types with the details of the implementation buried in the documentation instead of shipping with a first-class sorting-algorithms library.
