Is that really why, or are you just guessing? I'm assuming the real reason is that people are used to languages where heap allocation is common and stack allocation rare or nonexistant, and don't understand why boxing everything is a bad idea. In other words, it's a problem that a proper tutorial should be able to help with. I don't think changing syntax is going to make much of a difference.
