The issue is that the configuration format makes complex jobs difficult to define. It's good for the simple case, but versus e.g. a Jenkinsfile[0] where you get a complete groovy DSL that can interact with it's environment across tasks, pipeline, branch, etc with ease it's rough. Having fine-grained control becomes important.

Apache Groovy isn't "complete" as shipped with Jenkins. It's collections API is deliberately crippled so it doesn't work.
