For all the complexity, it's a lot more efficient. Some of the complexity problem comes from adapting LED to design decisions made for incandescent AC lighting in the switches, dimmers, sockets, and power supply. If it were worth it for the user to rewire their house, they could likely get overall simpler and more reliable LED lighting. There's a parallel to software design, one often incurs complexity when optimizing or adapting one software approach to another. The system might be more reliable overall if you can re-align the entire design, but there's a cost involved in it that might not make it worth it (particularly for physical things with replication costs).
