My take: does something add value OR is there because were are just used to?
Gribouille is not ggplot2, or other. Syntax is different. Superficial keyword similarity is (usually) a false friend. Reusing a keyword might be useful, but keeping an unnecessary construction is (in my view), a cargo cult.
Typst itself breaks with a lot of LaTeX stuff, and it is good that it does not pretend it is LaTeX-with-Rust, but has a fresh look.
