We did simplify software development _a lot_ since the dawn of computers. Compilers, IDEs, standard libraries... it's not really automation yet, but a programmer today is much more productive than a programmer forty years ago.

90% of what startups recently provide is not complicated technically, but only from legal or business standpoints.
Dropbox and Uber, just to name a few, are technically very simply implemented, and had many competitors before and after them.
Especially in the startup scene no hard theoretical issues are solved anymore.
