There are simply lacking of such strong requirements in language standards. C/C++ even have the specific "linkage" concept to abstract the binary details under the source form away. And you may know, many libraries are distributed by binaries.

The standards implying binary compatibility rules are about ABI (application binary interface), which usually depend on the ISA (instruction-set architecture) or the OS (if any) being used. You cannot have the unique one once there are multiple ISAs/OSes supported. Even when you only want to rely on some external "exchanging" representations not tied to specific ISAs, there are already plenty of candidates: CLI, JVM, WebAssembly... Plus there are more than one executable (and mostly, runtime loadable) image formats widely used (PE/COFF, ELF, Mach-O ...). You will not have the unique combination, and any attempts to ensure it "work across compilers" in that way will likely finally just add a new instance not fully compatible to existing ones, making it more fragile.
