I understand this concern, but at the same time it's not hard to write clang-query statements for the ones you care about. Sometimes it is even a regex! And it's not too expensive to upstream universally relevant checks to clang-tidy.

The main problem is that too many C++ engineers don't do any of that. They have some sort of learned helplessness when it comes to tooling. Rust for now seems to have core engineers in place that will do this sort of on behalf of everyone else. Language design aside, if it can find a way to sustain that kind of solid engineering, it will be hard to argue against.
