I can empathise with the experience, and have seen many others go through the same. Part of it is because many colleges(and by extension, firms) in India are focused on knowledge of frameworks and languages as a key indicator of skill and quality. Many, but not all.

Now, when quality is measured not by simplicity but complexity, everything will be over engineered.
