So many workarounds and engineering tasks just to be competitive with the simplicity of Nuclear.

Nuclear is simple in the same sense mainframe computers are simple. Solar and wind are like blades in a server farm; if one goes down it's no problem. In a nuclear power plant, all the parts (aside from some limited redundancy) damned well better work or the whole system is in jeopardy.
