Yes, that's kind of a "fewer moving parts" way of looking at it.
To be clear, I (like the parent post) was using data structures as a metaphor for the organization of source code: "trees" being code that is conceptually like a branching flowchart with many separate nodes, and "lists" being lines of code kept together in one function/class/file (which the parent post points out has the benefit of "locality").
