I very much disagree with the characterization of WebRTC being "designed to be overcomplicated and garbage on purpose" but I do think your point about needing to not open the door to DDoS botnet capabilities is something worth highlighting.

There are a number of very challenging constraints placed on the design of browser APIs and this is one of them that is often grappled with when trying to expose more powerful networking capabilities.

Another that's particularly challenging to deal with in the media space is the need to avoid adding too much additional fingerprinting surface area.

For each, the appropriate balance can be very difficult to strike and often requires a fair bit of creativity that can look like "complication" without the context of the constraints being solved for.
