Yes, it is a strength. You may want a new control operator. In case of, say, Java, you go and ask language developers. In case of Haskell, you write a function or a bunch of functions. "if-then-else" can be implemented in Haskell

That's main Haskell strength: there often is a library in Haskell for what is language feature in other languages.

Strong and weak are not properties of memory model, but memory access ordering in memory model. They are common in description of memory access orderings, but not memory model itself.
