There has been a lot of people in the C# community that think like you - that want to make the C# syntax more minimalist, the code shorter, so that they their microservice code is as terse as they'd write in node or Go. I think the changes they implemented were a mixed bag. True, they did a lot to clean up the corporatey 'design-pattern' mindset of the API, and some of the syntax is nice. But there's a lot of stuff I dislike - top level statements are nightmare to use, as they interact weirdly with the rest of the language, implicit usings are just straight up magic in a bad way. If you're comfortable with the IDE workflow (what's an IDE anyways? everyone's using VS Code/forks and AI nowadays), then it takes care of the boilerplate for you, and it's not an impediment when reading, as your eyes just skip over it. C# is 25ish years old, and it's a testament to how well-designed it is that it's still used in almost every domain. Go is an awesome language, but part of its awesomeness comes from the really small feature set, and trying to retrofit Go-like syntax into C# makes the language worse in many ways.
