I don't know. some stuff has gotten less. Major databases now ship effective HA tooling, microservices seem on their way out, structured databases seem to be back in instead of NoSQL.

HTML and pre-rendering are back in, HTMx, liveview

The degaussing of CSS and the hacks we did, hell i was trying to explain how we debugged web pages in IE6 to a younger staff member today.

Some things are more complex, some things got good enough to make them less complex.

Which ones? PostgreSQL doesn't have HA in core.

MySQL 8, but upon review that was 2018. 5.7 had some but it's certainly improved overall since then as well

A database with built-in HA is a significantly more complex system than one without it.

And one built without it and not coordinating with it is often much harder to reason about when you bolt it on later.
