Networking is not in the standard library of either C or C++. It is strictly an operating system extension. Since it's provided by the operating system, I don't really see how you reach the conclusion that it is a part of the standard library. The standard library is, after all, distinct from what the OS provides.

with recent inventions like coding agents, it has never been a better time to depreciate failed language like C++,
