I agree. I resisted LCs when they first came out, passing them off as
unnecessary, confusing, etc. Eventually, I came to be comfortable with

No, list comprehensions are not nececessary, just like the plethora of
expletives in the majority of your OPs on this list are not necessary. The
question is are they useful, and the answer is the case of list
comprehensions

The weird functional if syntax additions were a cave-in to the
functional crowd, and may have been a mistake.
The only mistake was not putting functional-if into the language in the
first place, and having to use that

Hello,

l = [i**2 for i in range(3)]
i
