Simple writing definitely has its place along side more complex writing. It depends on the goal for sure. Writing to an audience to convey an idea. Maybe simple

Simple writing definitely has its place along side more complex writing. It depends on the goal for sure. Writing to an audience to convey an idea. Maybe simple is better. Writing a document for the sales team of your product? Probably want to make it simple and leave out complexities.
I do however understand some of the comments saying that complex writing can be more artful. A good analogy, symbolism, or metaphor can go a long way to driving home a point in a more elegant way.
