To be fair, C predates dependency hell. It was either there or it wasn't. C++ has less of an excuse, but it was just object oriented concepts taped to C so it's no surprise it was also missing dependency management.

Now with cmake, gnu-make, meson, gradel, and the world of metabuild systems that wrap those, nothing will change. It it does, it might as well kick start world war 3.
