auto is fixing the problem of long-ass type names for intermediaries thanks to templates and iterators.

Move is fixing the problem of unnecessary mass-construction when you pass around containers.

std::ranges was introduced because dear fucking god the syntax for iterating over a partial container. (And the endless off-by-one errors)

concepts, among other things, fix (sorta) the utter shit show that templates brought to error messages, as well as debacles like SFINAE and std::enable_if.

You're right. They're not fixing problems created by previous features. They're all fixing problems created or made massively worse by templates.
