I disagree. I think they're simpler because they're built of smaller numbers of orthogonal concepts. I think code like this is certainly more dense, but I find the consequence of that density is that I spend less time pattern matching and skipping over "things that look like common idioms" and more time thinking about how there large, powerful abstractions wire together to achieve the intended end.
