Weird article. Sure, rendering engines are very complex, but they produce very complex images. So you can not just compare old engine against new ones and say that the simplification failed. When tech X is claimed to simplify rendering, the claim usually implies that the simplification happens for comparable visual output; achieving raytracing-like lighting and effects in conventional rasterizers would be even more complex, especially for dynamic scenes.
