Nobody's questioning whether it's "the job". The point of contention is whether the job can always be done without writing complex software. And the answer is no.

It sounds to me that the list of things make the software difficult to make, not complex. We add a lot of complexity by the technical choices we make. See accidental complexity vs essential complexity.
