People do that. People remake the language all the time.
But they don't call it C++, because the remade language is not C++.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of legacy reasons to keep using C++, like "already knowing the language" and "being able to use code written in C++" that give people reasons to improve the language without replacing it.

At this point, I just want to see how big they can make their language. I want it to be so large that the creators add the same feature twice, after forgetting a prior incarnation.

If you've seen the "Weaponizing your pets" lecture from DefCon, Gene explains it pretty simply - presentations are boring, and you're trying to keep people engaged.
Too bad the people in your example are less interesting than rocks drying in the sun so their memes are shit

Most presenters are ordinary adults, who are on the nerdy side but don't belong to any specific subculture, including hacker culture or chan culture. So their humor is mostly reddit tier memes.
