To the extent that it's true, I suppose a marketing pitch could be
made for CMake on that basis, to appease people who want OO.  Would
need a good way to display that kind of a marketing pitch.  That's an
infrastructural issue; the wiki is not currently a good vehicle for
it.

Then you haven't been paying attention.  There's marketing value in
using standard languages.  No amount of improving CMake script will
ever make it noteworthy to anyone.

Also, you grossly exaggerate the effort of making posts.  It's nothing
compared to developing and maintaining significant new CMake
functionality.
