Those languages have actually very different semantics too. I would say lisp is a better example of the importance of syntax. People obsess (wrongly) about superficial details in my opinion.

I think they put reasonable barriers to piracy. They are of course possible to circumvent, as every other barrier in existence, but you can also scan or make photocopies of a physical book. And this is actually a good thing. Mildly related:
