Complexity left to right may have gone down, but top to bottom has gone up. In a DAW people add way more tracks than ever and add all kinds of detail/texture/layers the weren't possible before so yeah, people search out the new and novel to experiment/have fun with. That happens all the time in music. No one used distorted electric guitars in music then all of the sudden music was over saturated in it. Just because you might not understand/recognize the current complexity doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
