I've written C and C++ for a long time, and... Alas, you're not completely wrong lol.

At work there's a still unresolved ticket of me trying to get cross compilation working, and it's basically impossible because of the way most C/C++ tooling is built and works. CLang kinda works nicer here than GCC, but there were other issues with that that I encountered. Basically, it's nearly unsolvable due to the number of hoops one needs to jump to properly link against a dynamic library produced for the target platform (if the host platform is different).
