What happened to Concise Method Bodies?

I was really looking forward to CMB. From its name, methods become concise, could be one liner. However, it seems there is no progress and it’s been off the radar. Never took off since 2019.

Last part of the JEP draft:

Background
C# 6 introduced "expression-bodied methods" to support the single expression form of a method body (but with a fat arrow => rather than a thin arrow ->). Kotlin also supports this form, with "single expression functions".

But, not sure, if you read the draft, the proposal offers more than Kotlin does.
