DLLs that are only in older versions of Microsoft Visual C++

I got a program that apparently works with Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 installed. I came to this conclusion after installing all the versions I found here 'https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170&source=docs', I installed one by one in several different sequences until I got to that 2013 visual I mentioned before, then I noticed that Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 is the only one that has the .dlls needed to run that program, so I wanted to know why the latest Microsoft Visual C++ do not contain these files?
dlls

Wouldn't it be easier for Microsoft to make a program available that downloads all of these Microsoft Visual C++? Then the program would always notify you when there are new updates for the newest or most recently available Microsoft Visual C++?

I'm talking about a new program because I think it would be difficult to merge the older versions with the new ones.

    the program requires a pretty obsolete MFC runtime (vs 2010). vs 2010 mainstream support ended in 2015, and extended support ended in 2020. as these runtimes are not included with the O/S, the application should include then as part of its install.

    as these runtimes are out of support, current version of C/C++ do not include.
