Yes. How much you'll want to stick in the standard library and how much into other 3rd party libraries also depends on how easy it is to work with these 3rd party library.

Two examples:

Rust 3rd party library support is so strong, that its standard library itself is actually partially built on top of 3rd party libraries.

Python, especially in the bad old days eg 20 years, didn't have much support for (sane) package management and dependency management, so it was really convenient to have a standard library with 'batteries included'.

Thing is, while C and C++ might be a late comers to the whole cross platform package management, vcpkg and conan are already quite established, what we are having is folks stuck in the old ways.
