I dunno, I often feel things get complicated when such an incredibly simple solution encounters a set of additional requirements.

They often tend to be sort of bolted on, rather than integrated neatly by rewriting the thing to a new simple solution that caters to both requirement sets.

The problem is more like Katamari Damacy-code than spaghetti code.

The more I think about this, it’s actually the same problem I described above. The issue is a failure to evolve based on new information.
Fair point, I’ve experienced that as well.
