A lisp that didn’t spam parentheses would probably be more palatable.

Classic counter-answer: Javascript: f(x). Lisp: (f x).

Javascript: f(g(x)) Lisp: (f (g x))

Same amount of parens.

This is called “proof by example” and is a fallacy.

Show me how to write `a + b * c` in Lisp without parentheses.

It's not uncommon in the Lisp-family that you can use [] as well as () so that problem of yours is solved already.
