I understand the overall feeling but I’m not sure I understand the specific reason why you say this is making code bases more terse. Are you comparing this with the alternative of using GCC specific extensions or no definition of likely/unlikely code paths at all?

They're saying the opposite - that it makes code bases more verbose.
