If "you won't have to use it" is something people accepted then wouldn't everyone stick with kitchensink languages like C++ instead of coming up with new "clean" ones like Python, Java, C#, etc? :-P

No because C++ still requires some amount of manual memory management, unlike the rest of languages you listed.
That's fine, you won't have to use them, or even use code that depends on generics.
And I won't have to remember a dozens of silly slice tricks each time I have to implement complex data pipelines with different struct types.

Everybody is happy.
