Is it really the case that languages with more features cause more project failures? Has the success rate of Java (the prototypical blub language) decreased after they've introduced new features like generics?

My experience has often been that whatever feature is lacking in the language tends to be made up for by huge code bases that are impossible to navigate, or using frameworks that abuse whatever dynamic features you have in the language horribly with added complexity in tooling and debugging.
