> ...the same happens with C++ runtime libraries

I don't think so. Upgrading to a newer major version of the C++ runtime essentially involves recompiling, unless you're dealing with an application that's 15 years or older. You can even instruct the compiler to use an older C++ standard if your code won't compile with the newer one. There is also an option to compile the runtime statically, though it is obviously not recommended.

.NET is a different story [1]
