In my experience, most of the value of Conan is with creating packages yourself when needed. You can then self-host a Conan remote and have pre-compiled binaries ready development. Having a conan recipes repository with CI that produces binaries for each required build configuration has become a de-facto standard for projects I have worked on
For 95% of Java devs, JavaScript devs, Python devs, if it's Open Source and it isn't on Maven Central, NPM, PyPi, it might as well not exist.
The reverse is true, if you have any library or tool worth a damn, it's there.
