The thing is that cyclomatic complexity for example (most popular complexity measure that linters use), it doesn’t make sense. Most of the time high cyclomatic complexity of a method is indicative of high business logic complexity… which is fine. And dogmatically saying that methods shouldn’t have that many lines and branches and that you should just come up with better abstractions doesn’t help anyone, whereas having closely related functionality concentrated in a single place, rather than synthetically exploded into N different files, well this does help.
