The C++ REST SDK makes connecting to services easier by creating APIs focused on simplicity and asynchrony, built using tasks from the Parallel Patterns Library. Or by building your own abstract layers over platform and operating system APIs, all of which distract from focusing on the core logic of your application. Often requiring use of multiple different styled, and potentially low level, libraries where asynchrony wasn't designed from the start.
The C++ standard library doesn't contain anything for networking (yet), and with the proliferation of devices, being able to do so in a cross platform manner is even more appealing. Trying to connect C++ applications to the cloud is difficult. Many languages have great support for connecting to web services.
