Why is a keyword better than an annotation from an IDE developer's perspective (considering Groovy already has tons of annotations which more complex semantics than @PackageScope) ?

In Java,  methods and fields use package scope by default. In Groovy, they
use public. In order to make something package scope, you have to use the
@PackageScope annotation. This makes code look a bit messy but also doesn't seem very intuitive. What if the "package" keyword was able to be applied,
in exactly the same way as "public" and "private" are?

Example:
package void foo() {}
