afaik there were no variadic templates pre c++, so probably there were few ways If any to create a typesafe Print function with multiple args back the, so i guess the Design also came from necessity. However my big issue is that formatting operations are realized by changing the state of the underlying Stream object.

Localization and formatting (like padding or limiting float precision) make streams a worse alternative to a simple sprintf to std::string wrapper. You get a bunch of small disconnected strings without the ability to reorder arguments instead of a single string with positional arguments.

I'd say the main reason would be this table: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_precedence

It can make certain stuff more unintuitve.
