Indeed, but it's also about having the wrong mindset: piling up stuff gives people the idea that they are building something.
Removing complexity and saving CPU cycles does not feel as good to beginners.
I'd take it a step further, the beginner has no choice but to write too much code/cruft. By definition they lack the experience required to know the options before them, many of which are simpler.
