Yeah, recreating Conan minus the foundational idea stated at the beginning of the post. Yup.

FWIW not many C/C++ programmers like package managers for some reason. We wrote custom cmake to pull from Artifactory and built our own packages with zip files. There isn’t a rich ecosystem of C/C++ packages.
JFrog owns Conan since 2016 and is a big company.
Good luck
