I'm sympathetic to your point.
I think there was/is some effort to allow LLD (the LLVM linker)
as a replacement for the MSVC linker in LDC. Perhaps if LLD
could be a drop-in for MSVC in DMD for Windows, then eventually
it could be the default? Not sure that's possible or not.
VC++ command line tools seem to be available on their own:
