I don't have to, I think, but often writing more-complex code than I'd otherwise want is sometimes the most efficient way to get things done, because otherwise I'd get stuck in analysis paralysis. Also, I tend to shy away from the more "succinct" option because it seems like it'd lock me into certain choices, with more edit distance between design decisions.
