Those times coincide with projects that fail to follow the "modern Cmake" style, based on build targets instead of pretending Cmake is a scripting language.
Keep in mind that modern Cmake style is a thing since the release of Cmake 3.0, which was what? A decade ago?
If developers who don't know better end up writing messy unmaintainable code, their code is an unmaintainable mess. That's not a result of their tech stack, but their own work.
