Thinking about Log4J here. The vulnerability was with an obscure functionality that I’ve never seen used. Sometimes simpler is safer.

Of course, sometimes simpler is “I stored the passwords unhashed”, so you have to find the middle ground.

Log4J is a really good example. You have to rely on the taste of the maintainers to not just include endless additional features.
