that's how you get companies to stop upgrading and eventually end up sitting on a 20 y/o version of C++.

2nd and 3rd order thinking is a thing.

If a company won't update because it really needs to depend on whether one bool compares greater to another then by all means they can stick to using 20 year old version of C++.

Other companies with modern engineering disciplines that don't write hacky code like that can benefit from a sane and sensible compiler instead of being dragged down.

If you can't understand how the expense of doing that may be onerous on a business then you shouldn't be let anywhere near decision making.
