You don’t have to, though over time some of them will start to appear in other peoples’ code.
A lot of features aren’t fully fleshed out when they enter the standard. For example the building blocks of coroutines appeared in C++20 but the user friendly affordances aren’t there yet — but with the building blocks in place people can work on that.
Likewise a lot of features are there for library developers and aren’t needed by regular code.
So your position is sorta consistent with what’s mostly approved by the committee. Even ranges, which are exciting, I’m still waiting on to see if some things get shaken out.
