Why switch state of the art C++ compilers with years of optimizations

Tool and compilers come eventually, especially after big players attend in
discussions.
I don't understand this reasoning really, what everyone expect from
language evolution?
Are we expecting some big company do this? Without any feedback from
programmer community, in their inner circles?
We know there are many like that and none of them fulfilling our needs.
This is the type of questions I sometimes have to answer, and as much as
I would like to have a language like D replace C++, myself I end up
using C++ when the need for native code on our applications arise.
So do i, but that doesn't mean one should remain silent at the time of big
developments to very problems C++ is facing.
Even Herb Sutter broke his silence and mentioned D here and there,
considering his position on the development of another language/compiler,
shouldn't others be more vocal?
This is not a fantasy anymore, we have working compilers and a grand
community.
