At first I thought this too, but if you look at the actual "features" they are adding they are all more less just smoothing out existing features. There aren't really any major new ones I can't think of that expand the "surface area" of the language. There is just a lot of polish still needed, esp. to things like async, const, etc. and most of the features appearing are about reducing the burden to use existing features.

Exactly. All of the recent big features were added a few years ago, and now they're really just filling in the gaps.
