Cars are getting way more complicated. Just look at all the tech inside of modern headlights and side mirrors. Don't you think you need a complicated supply chain for all the sensors in modern cars?
ICE drive trains aren't impossibly complicated. It's 200 year old technology that has been near perfected. Modern engines last 200k miles no sweat and require little more than an oil change. BEV is simpler in some ways but more complex in other ways. BEVs are much heavier and that means you need more structural components, heavier suspension, more complex crumple zone, etc. Electric cars also can't be repaired as easily. BEV aren't simpler than ICE cars, it's just a different set of costs/benefits.
