It's a frame of mind.

Often a developer will see something big or complex and see it as a problem.

But they should consider whether this matches the size/scope of the problem being solved

In professional software development projects, specially legacy projects, often times the complexity is not justified by the problem. There is always technical debt piling up, and eventually it starts getting in the way.

Often times means not always -- what would you say some projects are doing right so that their complexity is justified by the problem?
