C/C++ is HR-newspeak out of the 1990s(at the time it was not clear that anyone would still want to use C and MSVC did move their compiler to C++).
It signals that the speaker doesn't understand that the two are different languages with very different communities.
I don't really think that C users are entirely immune to dependency hell, if that's what OP meant, though. It is orthogonal.
As a user, I do believe it sucks when you depend on something that is not included by default on all target platforms(and you fail to include it and maintain it within your source tree*).
