In general, I think it's easy to conflate simplicity with ease. Ease is always a matter of context and what one is familiar with.

I agree that Rust is simpler than C++ and I think a lot of people mean that Rust isn't easier (up front). Given how new and different it can be, that makes sense.

That’s a great talk, but you have to wonder what that era Hickey would have made of overloading arity on list operations the way modern Clojure does.
