Creating new complex things is easy, because you can assemble them from existing simple things. Creating new simple things is more difficult, because you must go beyond assembling existing simple things.
Simple things lose their signaling value when they become well-known. Complex things lose their signaling value when they are replaced by simple things.
Therefore, it makes perfect sense that humans attack simple things: they threaten the signaling value of the easier to create complex things.
It's amazing how true this is. You can see it very clearly in your day-to-day as a software engineer. The vast majority of people you will encounter in your career favor fancy, complicated solutions to problems that could be easily solved with fewer resources. And yet when you float those ideas, you're laughed at.

I like simple things, am I not human?
Just take any simple thing and start thinking of any aspect of it. That itself is not simple!!
