I'm a Java fan so I'm contractually required to dis c#, but actually I kinda like this. It reduces boilerplate. Yes, it could be abused but this is what code review is for.

Why the requirement, because of J++ and how Ext-VOS alongside Cool became .NET?

Most companies don't care about this kind of stuff.

I work across Java, C#, JS/TS, C++, SQL, and whatever else might be needed, even stuff like Go and C, that I routinely criticise, because there is my opinion, and then there is the job market, and I rather pay my bills.

You’re not wrong. Every language feature that gets added there’s someone who wants to stop the clock and hold the language definition in place because “people might misuse it” or “people might not be familiar with it”. It’s not language specific, it’s everywhere.
