And code with zero ability to do fancy trickery ("expressive" as some people like to say) is easy to read even if the codebase - or even the language - is unfamiliar.
Which is really handy when shit's on fire and you need to find the error yesterday. You can just follow what happens instead of trying to figure out the cool tricks the original programmer put in with their super-expressive language.
Yes, the bug is on line 42, but it does two dozen things on the single line...
