Complexity in software is a lot like complexity in cuisine; most chefs want to stretch their abilities and create something memorable, transcendent even, but at the end of the day unless they’re cooking for themselves or friends and family there’s a business to be run.

So complexity has a diminishing return for economical reasons.
