This is exactly my take on folks bemoaning the evolution of complexity in software (and hardware) worldwide.

To lend some credence to other folks points of view, there are arguments I can agree with that are adjacent:

- "We don't need that complex framework for our needs, we stick to a simpler, older library."

- "We decided to not use <shiniest_new_toolkit> it had performance issues that the maintainers are still sorting out."

- "Working with the new framework showed a lot of promise, but there is still a lot of instability in the API since it's so new. We couldn't commit to using a toolkit that hasn't been nailed down yet."

These are actual concerns and shows caution towards adopting new things until they match your use-case, dev-timelines, and performance requirements.
