It's certainly no Silver Bullet, and can be taken too far; but it was born as a reaction to the industry going way down the opposite drain. At least at that point, you know what kind of car you need. I still find it easier to refactor a simple solution into a more elaborate one than going the other way, easier to motivate as well as ripping out features is pretty much impossible in a corporate setting. Truth is always somewhere in between the extremes.
