Indeed! Arch is really a great success story of the "KISS" principle. Just enough complexity, and nothing more.
Non-rolling releases by necessity add a lot more complexity, and those distribution maintainers have to consider many trade-offs in managing the "waterfall" approach.
Arch (mostly) assumes that 1) upstream knows what they're doing and 2) individual users are better able to make choices about which software to install and how to deviate from its default configuration.
Sometimes, less is more.
