This tendency toward nice, neat, clean, architecturally pure, and ultimately worse solutions runs deep in software engineering (and in humanity, in general (see e.g. the failure of pristine housing projects that replaced messy-but-functional slums)) and it's one I have to fight within myself, too.
I don't think there's any great way to combat it, though. You need mature, experienced developers on your team who aren't too tired and burned out to fight it.
