There are defaults and defaults.  Perhaps what I should have said was:
for those people who wish to continue to use Make as the build tool
underneath a modern framework then CMake is the de facto standard tool
for managing Make files.

Personally I do not like the CMake language, I much prefer Python, Lisp,
etc. hence I prefer Waf and SCons.   There is no doubt though that many
people prefer CMake over SCons, Waf, Autotools , and Make.

If anyone involved in any aspect of build has not heard of all of these
tools then it is almost certainly in that person's best interest to do a
little bit of investigation and learning.
