So they had enough time to observe these things in mainstream languages and recognize that a lot of them are not worth the hassle.

Actually I think that given that they gave birth to one of the most unsafe languages on the planet, and publicly ranted against OO and FP languages during their career, they have choosen to ignore them as a political decision.
