Seems to me the meta version of this is there exist entire jobs and careers to support technologies that are over complex, badly written, poorly documented, need constant security updates, patches etc, keep changing the way they work, need an enormous amount of effort to keep running, vendor gets bought out or does a pointless redesign, while something simple written by you or I just carries on working quietly and gets no attention. This is a tragedy of tech. I fully believe in the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. The world could spend way less on tech if we all followed that. Its not even just tech - e:g Henry vacuum cleaners are used on filthy construction sites and seem to last forever while more expensive fashionable ones break in 5 mins. Simplicity being the key difference.
