Std::visit is everything wrong with modern C++
At this point (and I suspect for a long time), the only thing C++ hasn't that Java and C# have is garbage collection.

And what about all the things that C++ has that no other language in the world has?

Because different languages have different goals, and most languages don't need the flexibility and power of many of C++'s features, and favor an easier language while sacrificing some of these extra language tools.
