There's a couple reasons I disagree with you on this (at the moment; as given enough time I am sure C# will also jump the shark):

* The above is just applying an existing (useful) feature to a different context. So there isn't really much learning needed, it now just 'works as expected' for assignments and I'd expect most C# engineers to start using this from the get go.

* As a C# and C++ developer, I am always excited to hear about new things coming in C++ that purportedly fix some old pain points. But in the last decade I'd say the vast majority of those have been implemented in awful ways that actually make the problem worse (e.g. modules, filesystem, ...). C#'s new features always seem pretty sound to me on the other hand.
