This need for "caching", because of verbs being often very far in the sentence structure, is also very common in Latin. That is supposedly why in Italy for a very long time Latin was the main subject in scientific high school (things seem to have changed starting around the mid 2010s, with the introduction of a latin-less scientific school).

On the other side, I was convinced by the research and statements of Andrea Moro (see e.g. https://thereader.mitpress.mit.edu/noam-chomsky-and-andrea-m...) that anti-universalist claims about language should be taken with more than a grain of salt.
