We have QSize and QPoint and they're used ubiquitously in Qt. But, by your rationale, everyone should be using two ints instead, so let's remove them! How's that anything to do with Java? C++ is made from the ground up for lightweight abstractions such as a size, a point and a file path. It's Java that isn't.
