I could see that. Maybe it really is because I'm more of a writer than a computer scientist.
(For context: I dropped out of comp sci and took a job as a web dev ~18 years ago. Never looked back. But have ended up learning more about copywriting and marketing than computer science along the way.)
I'm a computer scientist and not much of a writer yet I prefer the use of "unless" over a negated "if". Then again, at the start of my career I used quite a bit of Perl and it was created by a linguist.
