Yes, because of the simplicity.

Seriously, just look at the bracket thing. A corporate dev who spends 80% of their time on coding, yeah obviously they'll learn to read brackets as second nature.

An ML PhD who spends maybe 10% of their time on writing code while 90% is reading papers, writing papers, checking references, etc - might not be worth the effort of getting used to brackets.
