Kolmogorov complexity is just the standard name for a concept that's useful across machine learning, AI, compression, etc. It's not just a definition in some obscure result in complexity theory.

OP was simply saying that, in any general-purpose programming language (where all possible programs are expressible and none are unfairly favored) the solution to problem B will inevitably be longer than problem A. This is quite a bit more precise than just saying "a more complicated problem", and if you have the intuition behind it, there's no reason not to use the term.

I'm not convinced but we've taken this far enough I think. Thank you for an insightful conversation.
