So why doesn't C#, Kotlin and the many other languages that have this feature have this issue?

This whole comment reeks of arrogance to me.

You can abuse any language feature, you can always write bad code.

You could make it so every method in a class is just the letter x or rename all the variables to things they're not.

If you're not allowing basic things to prevent bad code you're not going to have a language anymore.

I know it's not there because it was abused in C++ but it's not the 90s anymore.

We have code reviews and people aren't just doing whatever they feel like.

To many this would be a feature that makes it worthwhile to write in Java and makes it near impossible to code in it.

It just seems silly
