Old English was heavily inflected, and had masculine, feminine, and neuter nouns. Do you miss them? Languages do simplify themselves over time. it's unstoppable.

The example given was not an example of inflection, or the lack of it.

Not all developments in language are positive.

Quite. We could try having sentences without objects or subjects, but it may not go well.
