Isn't the general goal rather to avoid/eliminate overly complex cruft (that every programmer should be able to recognize) than to find the maximally simple solution to a problem?

that seems like a more tractable goal if confined to local analysis (something like lines of code in a function or file unit) but people generally try to come up also with overall complexity that seems harder
