This is something I've tried to tell my teams over the years... There is no direct correlation between technical complexity and business value!
Some problems require complex engineering to be solved, but value and even durability do not come from technical excellence for 99.99% of businesses... Of course as a software developer I prefer to walk pristine halls of cutting edge software with perfect tests but the businesses I've sold/run have numbed me to the idea that fancy code makes the big bucks...
