The improvement in the compiler is a QoI question.

But I think what you need is an answer from the Standard, which could be in
this list (or more specifically std-discussions): are we going to continue
adding more features to the same headers? And is the only normal way of
importing the Standard Library via modules "import std;"?

If so, then you have a point in discussing improvements with the vendors.

If, instead, the Standard Library will move to more granular features, then
changing the compilers may not be required. Are proposing this?
