Citation needed? English has one of the largest vocabularies of any language (depends on how you measure, what counts as a word is a complicated question...) and it's just as expressive as anything else. It's used in tech because it's the default language and it's spoken by the default country, not because of any metaphisical property of the language itself... Tokens in the concrete syntax of formal languages are just placeholders, you could use arbitrary symbols instead and the abstract syntax wouldn't change.
