You're missing the point. If anything D is littered with features and feature bloat (CTFE included). Zig (as the author of the blog mentions) is more than somewhat defined by what it can't do.
I fully agree that the difference is a matter of taste.
All living languages accrete features over time. D started out as a much more modest language. It originally eschewed templates and operator overloading, for example.
Some features were abandoned, too, like complex numbers and the "bit" data type.
