> I feel like its a common pattern for more experimental languages to pioneer features and other languages to copy the features and bring them to a C style syntax that the majority of devs are familiar with.

You're ignoring the fact that it's harder to bring new features to older languages as they have more bloat to deal with as not every idea turns into a success. So younger more focused languages can iterate more quickly. Also, being willing to make breaking changes makes things easier. Microsoft tries hard not to do that with C#.

Over time, maintaining any software becomes harder, languages are no exception. The fact that c# is still around, and still being developed is a feat in itself
