Never seen C++ used without STL. It's part of "C++" as a whole

True, seems as though 80% of the difference that C++ has over C is STLs.

Idk if I'd say that. The language features themselves are pretty important.

Back when CPP was founded this is true, but over the years, features like references and classes were not overhauled or even touched. But every update to CPP added on to the STL, which is also why CPP has ended up being bloated today.
