I think it is a separate study whether developers find it easier to actually use, things like environments being equal.
I remember another study which showed that actually, most computer programmjng languages today are objectively terrible in terms of legibility and usability, the alternative was some idealized language that allowed effective communication to occur.
A safe program is not necessarily one that won't compile, if the lack of functionality incurs some danger on its own.
I suspect that a majority of the peanut gallery is rather lazy, or unwilling, or economically unmotivated to put forth the proper effort (and it is the last category that deserves the harshest punishment, where a wasteful and harmful situation is actively encouraged).
