while everyone already pointed out that this time it's not the case, I want to literally answer the question you asked
"easy-to-learn languages" use indentation because otherwise newbies would not indent at all
I you try teaching programming, you'll find that indentation is one of things students "optimize out" - it is not important to the program, it is opposite of lazy and it's not noticeably harmful on the tiny scale of programs you learn programming from
Indentation discipline only starts to matter when you need to work on the same code for quite some time and code itself takes a lot of space - the "read more then written" situation. And most study paths do not encounter this regime
Easy-to-learn and built-for-learning-good-practices are two different things;
I think your point is perfectly correct but it's mostly about the second one
