Likewise, "modern" programming languages are all converging on a common feature

if that’s our mindset then how do we account for times when we’ve actually
identified a common pattern that a language feature could address? I’m thinking
of things like methods in records, for..in loops etc… that made it into the
language and are widely adopted and enjoyed.
Those specific features you mention were added because of Delphi
compatibility not because someone thought they are good. Florian even
likened records with methods to a can of worms before they were implemented.
