I can emphasize with the argument that complexity is a source of income. But, I don't think that it's intentional. Rather, the constant change of developers introduced little inconsistencies that over time accumulate and generate complexity. Recently, I even looked at some open source projects[1] to measure the complexity by counting import/include statements.
