IMO the C# team is _incredibly_ conservative with new language features and only add in things that fit a missing part of the language, and when doing so try to also weave in existing C# features to build upon. I think if anything you may be referring to syntax options? There are a few syntactical ways to do the same things for sure, but I don't think that's bad, as each has their own use. But for bigger tentpole features like records or Span<T> or whatever, they are directly addressing a need and aren't just iterative versions of other things.
