In the Linux world and even Haiku, there is a standard package dependacy format, so dependencies aren’t really a problem. Even OSX has Homebrew. Windows is the odd man out.

On the contrary, most Linux distributions use platform-specific global-only packaging formats for C++ libraries, and if anything I think that's holding back the development of a real, C++-native packaging/dependency manager.
Are you talking about system/application dependencies for installed applications or programming dependencies like compiled libraries and header files?
