Scala definitely suffered from this:
“Most languages can’t resist driving towards 100% design at 400% the cost. C#, Swift, Rust - they all seem on a never-ending treadmill of adding features. Even JavaScript, which started as a 70⁄15 language has been captured by people whose job became adding more features to JavaScript.”
