It's not much more verbose but more explicit.
Changing the type of a variable based on static analysis is

obfuscation. It hurts readability and the gain is questionable.
At least it
only works for nullable types.
I consider this feature similar to requiring all control paths to
initialize a variable or return a value. Imagine requiring some
explicit or verbose syntax to enforce this behavior. I don't see
this being an issue as long as the behavior is consistent between
compilers (if code works in one compiler, it works in all
compilers).
