Imo, the solution is to stop using C/C++ for high performance applications. Today's computers are diverse enough that distributing compiled binaries leaves a ton of performance on the table.

What would you like you use instead? C/C++ code which targets generic x86_64 is a few percent slower than march=native but that still leaves it way faster than most other languages.
I think Rust and Julia are 2 of the stronger contenders.
Rust also produces compiled binaries?
