You don’t see them in the same sense you don’t see multiple closing braces in java or c.

The style in lisp is to keep all the closing paren on the same line: ))))

But in java or C you’ll sometimes see a function that ends like: } } } }

(Hmm my newlines didn’t cone thru on those braces)

Not exactly apples to apples comparison, but it illustrates how you can start to unsee those parens.

In a decades old java code base where so many has touched the code. It can look like this:

                            }

                        }

                    }

                }

            }

        }
    }
}
