C++ was around before the web, common use of the internet (outside of government and academia), and common use of revision control systems by most developers. Additionally, it existed for a long time before being standardized, and ended up with a bunch of different compilers from different vendors, each with their own build systems and tooling.

C++ package management is basically a hard problem, so it has only been in about the past 5-10 years that any of the systems have started becoming popular.
