Just to add some nuance: simplicity might be a boon for someone/company/industry working with multiple languages, but if you live in the, say, Java world, complexity may pay off for the native residents. For instance, natural languages develop all sorts of intricacies that are inconvenient for the learners, but expressive for the native residents. If the frequency of language usage is high, features of previously medium-level complexity become simpler and more “chunked”, due to how many times you have seen them (e.g. decorators in Python). So to Python residents, decorators are simple.
