Yeah this exactly.
Simplicity is borne out of messy, complex stuff. That one then has to do the work of removing the stuff that doesnt matter / rethinking how stuff fits together.
Most people dont really have the mental energy or discipline to go through this process, so by on large, complexity exists in the world.
