These replacements don't care about the committee per se, but rather reject committee's core goal of preserving backwards compatibility over everything else.

Making it easier to add more features to C++ can't fix the problem of being unable to simplify the language by removing unsafe and legacy features.

If they wanted C++, but only hated the committee process, they'd have forked the language and worked on compiler extensions (like WHATWG bypassed W3C process). But instead they all went for clean slate with some level of interoperability.
