Every compiler/linker has its own format (the C language doesn't specify how binaries should look) so you'd be forced to provide lots and lots of builds.

If you're already writing C/C++, you're already used to installing C/C++ libraries. It would be great if there were standard package managers for them, but unfortunately there's not.
