Think about it from the other side:

Infrastructure is like application dev in that it’s a bundle of histories of feature work over time and with many contributors, and many customers with competing wants and not enough time to satisfy everyone.

Granted a primary goal should be to have simple APIs/workflows for app devs to use, but complicated insides is as natural as any advanced system.
