None of this relates to fuel efficiency: That's is far greater these

That fits my understanding.

So why have such complicated engines when these above things can be
implemented on a simple OHV engine doing less than 5krpm and no variable
valve timing?

because lower vehicle weight improves not engine fuel efficiency, but mpg.

VVT extends rpm range. Allows more power from a smaller lighter engine.
