You mean that every langauge has its own package manager?

No, rather C++ has many competing package managers, none of which have majority buy in from the C++ community.

To name a few:

I think they mean that C++ isn’t one thing, it varies a lot by the specific compiler and version you’re using.

I think they mean that people keep coming along and saying "the existing N competing standards suck, let's make a new one everyone can use" and now there's N+1 competing standards.
