If this Principle of Least Power had been applied to sbt, what would have been the result? Compilation times depend on scalac and not so much sbt.
Perhaps Scala adoption would be higher today. Assuming no competitors (Kotlin) had gained momentum.

The maintainer of Slick was in the last round of layoffs at Lightbend. Not sure who maintains Slick these days.

And the story goes on: upgrading Spark to Scala 2.13

Scala 3 supports braceless syntax, aka significant indentation, aka "YAML is to JSON as Scala 3 is to Scala 2"
https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/other-new-features/inde...
There was quite some debate on this, going on strong.

Scala 3 making progress is great, just like progress on the Scala 2.13 camp:
Scala on Track to Support Java 9 Module System https://github.com/scala/scala-dev/issues/529
Scala 2.13 on track to support Spark https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-25075

YMMV. Some features of Scala 2.x have been dropped in Scala 3 (ETA late 2020), others added.
Features we know Scala 3 will have https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/
A comparison of features across Scala 2.x and Scala 3 is the migration guide https://github.com/scalacenter/scala-3-migration-guide
