Am I correct in thinking that this functionality could have been
added to the standard library when std::bind was added in C++11,
except that it requires something in the core language that was not
added until C++14 ?

If not, what is the reason why this was not added when std::bind
was added? (I've failed to locate any pre-C++11 WG21 papers about
std::bind.)
