Your argument would work for Go, but not for C++.

Lots of C++ codebases rely only on the most basic stuff like 
malloc and memcpy.

boost is only useful for prototyping, you find better dedicated 
libraries. same for much of STL

Cppcon has a 2 HOURS presentation explaning just type traits... 
That tells me that something went wrong somewhere... Not generic 
enough, too large vocubalary.

Standard libs should be small and composable.

Over 80% of C++ stdlib is useless or outdated. Of course they 
have like a 20+ years deprecation cycle...
