Many complex systems are complex because they solve complex problems, not just because they have evolved over time from different simple conditions. You can't always (if ever) replace a complex system with a simple one. You can't escape complexity by coding around it. This is the attitude that killed Netscape and kills many Enterprise projects.
The natural path of these "disruptive" startups is to start small and lean, ignoring a lot of the complexity of whatever market they are disrupting, and then a slow and steady snowballing as they begin to re-accumulate a lot of the baggage of the industry they came in to disrupt.
