It is very different. A web browser is a (almost) fully self contained environment. Same with something like JAVA. On the other hand a standard C or C++ compiler+runtime has (by design) very little features. Anything beyond trivial programs has to reach to platform specific features. Even POSIX is often not enough.
not sure i'm following? i was referring exactly to those "few" language features, e.g.: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support
