If you just focus on specific problems, yeah, I agree, it's hard to see a great advantage.

The magic is that having something like do syntax allows you to take matters into your own hands. You can relatively easily create your own solutions for these kinds of problems, without having to wait around for possibly years (or possibly forever) before the language implementors get around to giving you your Elvis operator or iterator blocks or async/await syntax or whatever.
