We believe people tend to opt for the less complex solution over time. This evolution happens slowly and may upset many people but in the end, simplicity wins. Caching, SQL, Load Balancers didn't exist a few decades ago and now we spend months of our limited time trying to tame the cloud machine.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a lover of (complex) systems, but not everybody needs them/can maintain them.
Edit: couple => few
