More syntax, more semantics - because that's exactly what C++ needed. At this point I think they may be competing in the most complex languages championship. When are the next Olympic Games? And it's not like we could just abstain from using new parts of the language. For every feature there is going to be a person who will be excited to use it in an open source project which your company depends on, and sooner or later you're going to have to pay for every inch of complexity introduced to the language. But the people in charge seem to think that there is no cost to it.
