Yes, features that are easy to use will be more often used, while inconvenient features will be less used. I don't quite see any controversy with my comment.
The point is that in both cases the underlying feature is present, so APIs will be compatible. However, the lack of syntactic sugar in the one case will make any API that uses the feature cumbersome to use in that language, so in practice it will be avoided.
