The "world" has decidedly not standardize on CMake. If anything, it uses CMake as a lesson in what not to do: if you look at the recent crop of build systems (Cargo, Zig build, buck2) -- none of them are meta build systems. The problem I have with "pure" build systems is that they don't integrate well with IDEs. I heavily rely on IDE features such das "GoTo declaration" (often better than reading docs), auto-completion etc. and CMake fills this role by not by reinventing the wheel but working with existing tools. I can have a Visual Studio project when working on/for Windows or a compile_commands.json when working on Linux e.g. with VS Code or any ++ language server supporting that.
