I didn’t make the assumption but it sounded like a reasonable assumption based on the pronouns you used. You said “could you software engineers stop making things harder for yourselves.” A reasonable interpretation of this is that you aren’t a software engineer.
Reinforced softly by the rest of your comment not being technically sound. Adding a second language that is meaningfully different in its strengths and weaknesses isn’t “bureaucracy”. Bureaucracy is more like “sign a CLA before you can contribute”.
Okay then how about another interpretation: I'm a software engineer questioning the boarder group of SWEs on what they're trying. (Somehow I have to show you another interpretation I can't believe how tunneled people can be).
Also bureaucracy is added friction, usually done by humans. It can be found everywhere where you're working with humans, from leetcode interviews and code styles and practices. It's not just a bunch of signed papers.
Sure you can add the second language if adds value, but let's not pretend that the added friction isn't there. If you could solve your problems without the friction of second language it would be better.
