This is conflating slightly different things, though? One is that you can build a program that does the same thing. The other is that you can do the same things with the language.

There are special forms in LISP, but that is a far cry from the amount of magic that can only be done in the compiler or at runtime for many languages out there.

Brainfuck is also Turing complete but that isn’t an argument that it’s a good replacement for LISP or any other language.

That has a name: Turing tarpit.
