Plenty of languages are rich with boilerplate (think Java, C++...). Expressing intent succinctly is non-trivial, and especially so when you want to provide a rich vocabulary like modern languages do.
While modern tooling helps, the form of expression still means cognitive load (in reading code, deciding what to copy-paste and refactoring later).
And sometimes, tooling which is succinct brings a whole can of worms with it (think pytest with assertion rewriting and unexpected behaviour of your .pyc files — if you are familiar with Python as your nickname seems to suggest :)).
