Yes, except that they actually did.

The language as a whole gets bigger because it maintains backwards compatibility. This is good.

The part of the language that you actually use on a daily basis gets smaller. This is also good.

The code you write today is simpler. The code you wrote 10 years ago still works. That looks like success to me.
