Well there are still some c++20 items that aren't fully supported, at least according to cppref.

Yeah, I think it's because none of the compilers are obligated to support the standard and things get added that never get implemented.

A good example is the C++11 standard garbage collection! It was explicitly optional but afiak no one implemented it.
