I think you're right.
I worked on Yocto for two years, it is over-engineered _a_ _lot_ to say the least.
The BSP companies like it though, my theory is that, since Yocto is so complex(unnecessarily), only them can solved the problem for clients.
It's a worse case comparing to gentoo for embedded space. Just use buildroot to bring up your board, much simpler and faster with top class documentation.

I also think Yocto is mainly an advantage for BSP vendors, but I think where the benefits might offset the complexity is when managing lots of client specific variations and adaptations for the same base BSP.
