Threading in C11 and C++11 was too little, too late.  And it doesn't
take into account the significantly different threading systems used in
different OS's.  For embedded systems, how is anyone supposed to use a
threading library that doesn't handle priorities, stack size, and the like?

Until 2017 when shared_mutex came along it couldn't even do 3 level locking
which would be a deal breaker for a lot of people. Certainly was for me.

I think trying to standardise a C++ gui library would be like
standardising threading, but orders of magnitude worse.

Agreed.
