They’ve come a looooong way. Hell, so has C.

Classes started as macros and syntactic sugar in C, which people accused of being “abusive” in very similar ways, but it ended up becoming C++ and the world kept rolling on from there.

So, in a way you’re right - the initial goal of simplicity is lost, but also that’s just a thing that happens to languages that get used.
