IMO cosmopolitan libc is a "really neat trick". And it deserves praise and it probably does have some real use cases. But it's not practical for most purposes. If we had a format like ELF that was so fat as to support as many architectures and OSs as desired, would we be using that? I have a feeling that we would not.
Then again -- after having used "zig cc" for a while, maybe it would be reasonable to have something like "one build" that produces a mega-fat binary.
And the microarch-specific dispatch is a nice touch.
...maybe I'm convincing myself of the alternative....
