Historically, incrementalism is pretty much the only way that languages can reach mainstream status e.g. C/ObjC/Javascript/C++/Java/C#/Kotlin.
Of course, having languages that break away from the mainstream is equally important to generate new avenues of research, but it's clear to me both approaches are a requirement for a healthy PLT field.
