That's merely syntax sugar. Haskell doesn't even have this sugar and so in a monad you have to bind explicitly, and it's fine. It's not a pyramid of doom.

Haskell has do-notation which is a more general kind of this syntactic sugar

Yeah that's what I said about bind.

Let's consider a language like C++ where it has none of those syntax sugars. The absl::StatusOr is a class with the idea that errors should be values. The standard library has std::expected since C++23. So where is your pyramid of doom?
