I think Python suffers from #3, as they've been adding new (controversial) syntax like typing, the := operator, and pattern matching. These were intended to help write real-world code at the cost of simplicity and applicability as a teaching language.

It's starting to get there, yeah, though I think any sufficiently-popular language eventually gets there at a certain age
