The dictionary definition of 'sophisticated' is "changed in a deceptive or misleading way; not genuine or pure; unrefined, adulterated, impure." Pretty much the polar opposite of "boring" in a technology context.

That is an extremely archaic definition that's pretty far from modern usage, especially in a tech context

No, this is not "the" dictionary definition.

This definition is obsolete according to Wikitionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sophisticated (Wikitionary is the first result that shows when I type your words)

No clue what dictionary you looked at but this is not at all what dictionaries actually say.
