Three years into a job, I often feel I would love to move somewhere. Thailand, Sweden, India, South Africa etc. I have actually moved quite a few times and found the new place to be very similar except I don't have my friends anymore, have to learn my way around, figure out the banking system, and figure out the new job. Are you sure that the problem is the complexity of the domain? Are you sure its not the co-workers, or impossible feature requests, or short timelines? I mean it may feel complex if you're asked to understand 1000s of lines of codes and debug them or something. Having said that, I will add that every few years a new small platform comes out that needs new hardware. It is "simpler" in the sense you describe but much tougher because there is no tooling, and no guides, and you have to work much harder to figure things out. tl;dr: mere nostalgia.
