Especially given that the tech is always changing.

Humans don't. Changing things is fine, making using them more complex for the same result, because another decade has passed, is not.

It has to get more complicated, more edge cases have popped up and the process is more complicated.

Look basic example. I made an uncoiler and needed to add in a reverse override. Why? Because someone one time loaded it in wrong.

By "more complex" I meant making other operations slower (EDIT: and harder to understand) for somebody using it, so - not this example.
