I disagree with this sentiment and it's tautologically false. Have you ever worked in a mature babel code base? I have worked in many and frequently get contracts to clean them up. I have yet to see a clean one. Can you even point to a clean open source one? The complexity doesn't reach some steady state, it just keeps growing. The argument that something simple needs to be complex because of unknown future needs is a prime example of design based on emotion, not engineering.
