Translation: You're right on the point that one can spell words more easily in other languages. But the important thing in this case is that people find what they expect. If the majority are looking for `} else {` it's better to give them what they expect. It's possible that a scientific investigation might find that `else {` would be better for those who haven't yet become accustomed to `} else {`, but we're in a world full of people who've already become so accustomed. So `} else {` still works better, just as it works better to use a familiar language even though another language has advantages.
