I think good design can eliminate much of this, and I see that there

That should be easily achievable if engineers can avoid that tendency
they have to add stuff because they think it's cool, without considering
if it's really going to be useful and at what cost.

Don't blame the engineers here; blame the marketroids who have visions
of dollar signs dancing in their eyes on account of all those kewl new
features.
