Only this is almost never true.

If it's possible to do something unnecessarily complicated, someone will inevitably do it. Maintenance costs are often greater as complexity and bloat goes up.

Longer compile times and generally greater development cycle latency also tends to decrease developer productivity more than the small time differences might suggest.
