Most? I question that.

In fact, what languages can you say do not have syntax rules?

C, python, java, Fortran, ruby, Common Lisp, Haskell, go, zig (I think), forth, swift, cobol, pretty much any language that doesn’t directly descent from Scheme.

Python and Java do not have any similar constructs

syntax-rules refers specifically to Racket macros.

Since macros are a very important part of Racket, complaining that a friendly introduction mentions them is [insert non-friendly characterization].
