There are various level of 'graphics'.

"Just draw" the shape where? In the console using text characters? In the
desktop background? In a window? What creates the window for you and what
properties will it have?
I'm guessing you've never done graphics programming. You might as well
suggest C++ has built in sound.

Why not, if a C++ book demonstrated an example:

int main() {
 utter << "Hellow, world";
};

Nope, because "..There are too many variations on different systems and some don't have..."?
