Ternary operator

Please, just allow to type more shortly and habitually ?: instead of if(...) else.
Let’s see example

ViewCompat.setBackgroundTintList(editText, if (hasFocus) colorLineFocus else colorLine)
ViewCompat.setBackgroundTintList(editText, hasFocus ? colorLineFocus : colorLine)

Subjectevily, 2nd line is more readble for me. In 1st line I need visually to extract (detect) condition, and statements.
When it occurs in big block of code, it reads very uncomfortable.

I do not see any problem to implement this traditional syntax. It has exactly the same logic ?: and if-else.
So, whats problem?
