Sure, but you need a path there. How do you get from complex to simple? That's really hard. It's relatively easier to keep things simple over time. By default

Sure, but you need a path there. How do you get from complex to simple? That's really hard. It's relatively easier to keep things simple over time. By default Money does not know or care about conscientious design. It wants functionality and it wants it now, future be damned. This is not irrational. Usually there is no future. The problem start with your unlikely success, and yes now you have money to throw at it, but ironically the people that are best suited to wrestle complexity to the ground are not super motivated by money. They are motivated by a peculiar kind of beauty that is, by hypothesis, missing in the successful, complex system, and so they will not want to contribute, money or no.
