This is just a natural consequence of programming becoming more accessible, I think. And let's not pretend that C and C++ package management is "good but misunderstood"—it needs a lot of work.

You can understand how C/C++ builds and dependencies work by reading a book, yes. But you can still criticize it—there's lots of stuff there to criticize! Modern languages have shown that dependency management and builds can be easier, faster, more secure, and more portable.

Which is why Conan and vcpkg do exist, and for quite long time OS package managers and installers.
