I hate almost all software
That's awesome! I'm working on something that sounds similar. https://github.com/cons-cat/libcat
I'd love to see your work if you're willing to share it here!

Chromium accepting Rust in a clear move to copy what Mozilla have done, replace C++ source code
It's worse in the standard library than it has to be. When I refactored my traits to minimize template instantiations and lean on concepts as much as possible, I measured over 30% improvement to clean build compile times. It's not possible for the standard to do this, because it would subtly change the API. For instance, you can't instantiate or take the address of a concept, but you can for a type-trait class. No reason you'd want to do that, but you can, so they can't "break" the standard library by optimizing this.

C++'s smaller cleaner language
This doesn't have to be true. Over the past year I've made progress towards demonstrating how even non-freestanding C++ can be written without any C or C++ standard library headers or DLLs (with large benefits). There are a few names which the compilers require to be in the std:: namespace, though, but they're very special features like source_location and construct_at with semantics that can't be expressed otherwise.

Is bloat in std::unexpected expected?
It isn't that hard to put a predicate into a type. We have lambdas in an unevaluated context, CTAD, and templated type aliases. https://github.com/Cons-Cat/libCat/blob/main/src/libraries/scaredy/cat/scaredy https://github.com/Cons-Cat/libCat/blob/main/src/global_includes.hpp#L70 https://github.com/Cons-Cat/libCat/blob/main/src/libraries/linux/cat/linux#L289 You do it like this.

Is it possible to see the code of 90s computer games?
Doom might be the best one, they released their code i don't remember when. It's in github if you want to check it out: link

Honestly don't understand why people keep buying from them
Mate, go look at Doom's source code and tell me that it's as complex as even Call of Duty.
