Simpler phones have resulted in previously incomprehensible quantities of innovation. Remember phones 5 years ago? You had to know about IMEI numbers to get your internet working. What kind of innovation did that spawn in its users? None. Simpler phones have shown people that some tasks can be programmed pretty easily. They've shown people tech can be fun. No, I think simpler operating systems will dramatically increase the productivity of the people using it day-to-day (think of all the millions or billions of man hours wasted fixing Windows rather than innovating Windows) and leave much more time open for people to just sit and think about how things could be better.
