Zuckerberg also tried to push the whole "internet.org" thing in India and was absolutely lambasted by Indian people on his own Facebook page. It was beyond awesome to see 1000s of people piling on well-articulated condemnations of Zuck's cartoon-evil PR doublespeak.

He is actually hated fervently by a large crowd that believes in various Covid conspiracy theories. Most any recent video of Gates on Youtube will have top comments that are along these lines.

It's true that languages with case declensions (beyond the vestigial declined pronoun forms in English) would be less ambiguous in expressing that example sentence.
English is an analytic language, meaning that more information is conveyed through syntactic patterning involving closed classes of words like particles, prepositions, and articles. These words could be considered "overloaded" as you said, but for non-closed classes of words though, as far as I know English is not known to be more or less polysemic than other languages.
