It is more true about the Internet. More and more web pages use more bloated libraries, and more complex solutions.
There is more data, more communication, more patterns, more services, more styles.
If you want a blog there is no need for fancy libraries with a fancy frameworks, probably.
I think this could be passed to the whole software / hardware situation.
Do you need a fancy desktop? Does not Gnome look better than XFCE? But you want a shiny desktop with nice animations, nice icons.
It is also required by the producent for the product to be more complicated and fragile. Now you cannot have offline software. There needs to be telemetry. Therefore there need to be internet logins. Therefore hackers are a higher threat. Why does my calculator on Xiaomi phone need permissions for gathering private data? I know maybe to select some units, but comes on!
