> above a certain income threshold, your tax return becomes exponentially more complex

For some people. A person working a single job as a programmer earning $300k in straight W-2 income (no RSUs, etc.) does not have more complex taxes than a person earning $100k from a combination of their podcast + a few rental properties. There's no logic to means-testing this kind of service, where there would be for feature-testing (i.e. "Does all your income come from your job?").

RSUs don't really complicate anything, they are straight W-2 income.

If you sell them it gets more complicated because your broker is for some reason forbidden from reporting the correct cost basis even though they know it.
