Yes great point and very true. I don't think we have complexity for complexities sake, there are real problems we are solving. It's sad that we have to protect ourselves from software vendors, but you're right we absolutely do. The simplicity of the past was based on something that is no longer (probably never was but that's another discussion) true, which is that code the user is running is running with consent of and on behalf of the user.
