Seems a bit hyperbolic to call it a curse. Things like these are on a spectrum for all languages and languages like C and many others are afflicted by ecosystems that are more or less community driven and leverage libraries to a greater or lesser extent. Doesn't really have to do with Lisps per se.

It really applies to all languages where the very process of developing extends the language. It is the modern day variant of the Babel curse: you end up with a perfect language for your problem understood by a single individual.
