Thanks for introducing me to the Blurb Paradox!

Though on first glance, doesn't it suggest that all programming features are good, and only their absence is bad? St. Exupéry's idea of perfection would disagree.

No, because it is possible to add power without adding features. This is typically called generality. In fact, adding features really can’t do much to change how fundamentally expressive a language is.
