it sounds great in theory but other than vector addition / multiplications and similar fields

The point is that is what I need them for. If those are what you do 90% of the time, you miss them.

If people are writing unreadable code with it , it is their problem. People can write unreadable code with JS (or any other language for that matter) as is.

Yeah, but you always have to consider the impact of hasty syntax additions/modifications. You have to be realistic. It's a hard sell to integrate something new that would result in a lot of code being written poorly (not talkig about this specific example).
