There are two schools:
* make your cipher complicated, so that analysis and attacks are hard
* make your cipher easier to analyze and attack
The second one usually brings more confidence in the strength of the algorithm after a long period of peer review and cryptanalysis.
PS: not sure but I think I remember reading that Ketje was designed specifically to make theoretical attacks and analysis easier: https://keccak.team/ketje_contest.html
