Welcome to the C community!
C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Using platform independent package managers instead of relying on system libraries seems like a more straightforward solution to a good part of the problem at least. It's often good to use multiple compilers as well, which would add to the bloat of the container. There are probably some gnarly situations where pros outweigh the cons though.
