This statement is completely False: the Rational environment did take 
advantage of these possibilities decades ago. (I presume the version 
available from PTC still does.) As recently discussed here, people who used 
that development environment tended to be very happy; perhaps this was one 
of the factors?

In any case, semantic coupling is many times more important than 
compile-time coupling, since it causes actual maintenance problems. Perhaps 
focusing on that would make the differences more apparent???
