> C has this solved

It hasn't… but C developers are much more careful about adding a dependency than js/python/rust/go developers. Mostly because adding a dependency in C is more annoying. In those languages it's just about adding one line.

Of course if you use a distribution and it's a famous library, it's to add a line as well. But then there is the filter of the distribution. Which would work for any language, but most developers vendor everything instead.
