If you have to share a codebase with a large group of people with varying skill levels, limiting their ability to screw up can definitely be a feature, which a language can have or lack.

As always, it comes with tradeoffs. Would you rather have the ability to use good, expressive abstractions or remove the group’s ability to write bad ones? It probably depends on your situation and goals.
