I suspect this is fairly common. The reality is most developers don't need a lot of the features a language provides.

Python for example has a ton of stuff that can be done with classes using sunder methods and other magic. I'm aware of it, but in all the years I've been writing Python I've never actually needed it. The only time I've had to directly interact with it was when trying to figure out how the fuck OpenAPI generates FastAPI server code. Which fairly deep into a framework and code generation tool.
