No, they dont ask for complexity. They do want it to be simple but solve complex problems. There is a difference.

There is a beauty in creating simple solutions for complex problems. Not many are able to do that. And that is the way it is , always was, and always will be.

Many complex problems do not have simple solutions. This is a fundamental principle of computer science.
Dream on. Most business processes are convoluted and complex. You can only provide simple solutions if the customer works with you to also change their own processes. Some do, many don’t.

Your statements are handwaving about magic solutions. "Always" is a long time. You would have historical examples, with requirements, to illustrate if your sentiments were true.

Only if you mean "solution easy to understand by particular audience because it's tailed towards that particular audience" by "simple solution"
