It is not lowering the bar to find better ways to demystify and explain things. In fact, I would say those who can explain it well understand it the best. Richard Feynman would be my best example.
I agree making simple things sound complicated to appear more impressive is bad but there are limits. Even with Feynman he could only go so far, e.g. his interview about why questions and magnetism.
I do think in a lot of fields there is a lot of impact/influence to be had by people who are willing to do work to bridge different fields. I wonder to what degree this is because practitioners don't always see how their work could be used elsewhere.
