I think you're right, and I hate it. Just look at Gleam as an example where adopting a more C like syntax got them a ton more adoption almost over night. I love Ocaml (and Haskell-esque) syntax, but I must admit it can be detrimental to getting adopted. I think another issue was bad tooling for a long time. Now with Dune it's great though, with very fast compile speeds. Hopefully OCaml slowly gets the recognition it deserves, because it really is a great language.
