Held back from what? I mean, I'd love it even more if it had higher kinded types, but it's a pretty great language as is.

It's simply less expressive.
Just as Go is fine without generics, F# is fine without HKTs.
It's a sad realization for those coming from a language that does support HKTs. Still a great language.
