...also important to note in that context: unlike gcc and clang, the MSVC C++ compiler is stuck at a "sort-of-C95". GCC and clang support most modern C features in C++ as non-standard extensions, but MSVC doesn't.

MVSC++ isn't the only C++ compiler that follows that.

There is no rule that ISO C++ compilers should be C compilers as well.

In fact, I bet they only backtraced on their position on their C compiler due to WSL, IoT and devices like Azure Sphere.
