I think the bifurcation might be more clearly described as 'problem space' and 'solution space' complexity. The 'complexity of the problem' is inherent, by definition. Unless accountants want to literally change the requirements. The complexity of the solution space is something else entirely and it may be hard to derive theoretically ... But with sufficient tooling, such as AI, maybe it becomes trivial. If we have 'AI Apis' that can immediately handle complex problems and dissolve them into something really simple, then many apparently complex domains could be reduced to something simple. As long as we're allowed to use 'other software' and not have it 'count' as part of the complexity we are measuring, well, the then complex of the 'app' tends towards 0. You can already see this a little bit with CRUD apps, which often feel like just gluing some forms together.
