Yes, just semantics. But I don't think I can agree that because you could have ensured this works portably people actually did. That's not been my experience.

Yesterday I watched that "Sea of Thieves" C++ 14 to C++ 20 upgrade story on Youtube, that feels much more like what I've seen - code that shouldn't have worked but it did, kept alive by people whose priority is a working game.
