Take a look at the implementation of ..say.. std::tuple, and say whether most C++ users need to be able to write that kind of C++.

No, and they shouldn’t probably. Most internal libraries don’t have and don’t need to implement novel complex template based specialization - not in their API at least. And stuff that’s internal to library needs to only implement the things the API contract requires - which usually does not require the rigmarole of fully generic ’modern’ template based implementation.
