It's not exactly brain surgery, is it?

No, it's significantly more complex.
More complex for less benefit is just losing two different ways.
May be more complex but it's less audacious.

The water systems for LA and San Francisco are really quite audacious even if they have less technical complexity than floating rail.

I've built ML systems way more complex than any of these but it's still way less ambitious and audacious.
