This doesn't answer the question.

Here's an example of how the question might be answered for a popular
Boost library, Boost.Asio:

"C++ benefits from standardized networking, because having common
vocabulary types and named requirements allows libraries written
against standardized networking components to interoperate."

The same cannot be said for unit test libraries, since those types
don't appear in public interfaces. So again what is the benefit of
standardization?

Thanks
