I used to think so too, but I do have to complain about Microsoft doing the Microsoft thing - they have a brilliant idea (and execution), but they bury it in so much boilerplate that 99% of people who would use it are put off by it.

The amount of stuff you have to wade through here compared to something like comptime in Zig (Roslyn API, setting up the project, having VS recognize it and inject it in the compiler, debugging etc) makes usage of these an absolute pain.
