You can also probably express 98% of what you need to with a few hundred words of English, but most people see a benefit in having a rich vocabulary. Having new ways to say something allows you to express it better and more concisely. It's the same for code.

You can attain maximum expressiveness through organization of code without blinding hoping a convention of syntax solves such organization for you. Code is a utility, not entertainment. The rest of my prior comment still stands. Web tech is super hard primarily because people are afraid of it, not because the technology imposes technical challenges.
