That's an interesting take! Complexity is necessary defensiveness. Exactly - a lot of it can be that. Like well-designed complexity. Complexity because of the model. Whereas maybe we can say 'bad complexity' is complexity in spite of the model. I guess this is exacerbated in waterfall type designs or processes without iterative feedback loops. I like to code with tight loops to know the behavior and adapt.
