You entirely miss the topic.

Const generics, what C++ calls non-type template parameters, is a recent and fundamental complexification of Rust. Libraries using them, as always and ever for all features and all libraries can be simple, but a person coding a library that would benefit from the feature is in no way insulated from it. Async/await, similarly. There is no end to those. They add complexity, but solve real problems. Novices can be shielded, but professionals cannot be, because the features are exactly those needed by the professionals.

C++ chooses to add wrinkles, upon wrinkles, upon yet more wrinkles so as to produce a fractal of complexity that serves nobody, not novices, not professionals, not even the implementers benefit in the end. In the short term it was an administrative convenience I suppose, but it can hardly have been difficult to foresee the consequences.
