I'm not sure about that part. Even if one personally ignores something new, someone else within the same project or a dependency will employ the new shiny, and invent one or a couple more ways of doing the same thing in a different way.
That means if it's in the language, you'll have to account for it. Not saying Python is, but given enough new features a language may become a kitchen sink of ideas over time.

(At the risk of contradicting myself a bit here, I actually agree with the features you mentioned here are all nice to have, and I like using them. IDK if nice to have is a high enough barrier to clear though.)
