I think it's more of an Indo-European thing than an English thing. I've never heard of an Indo-European language having this distinction.

In languages that use obligatory possessive markers for family, would there be no plural for mother, father etc.? Or would they say “Some people’s mothers are always busy”?

youre usually defending language from claims about how they "should" be spoken for example with black english
