Anthropic can't afford to pull shit like this and sacrifice quality.
And yet, the Java language exists.
For market share, ANTHROP\C needs to optimize for the vast mediocrity that are mid-bell-curve users and enterprises.
This adaptation tends to come with significant drag for the right ends of the bell curve firms or teams.
Unless ANTHROP\C have a separate objective function by cohort and ensure that doesn't regress, improving results for the emerging middle will nerf tools from point of view of those with high in-domain expertise.
