That you can remember how to do something is not an argument for that being the best way to do said something, or even a good way to do it.

The only good arguments for not making things simpler are "they cannot be any simpler", closely followed by "the tradeoffs aren't worth the effort/cost".

Why not simplify everything, where possible? It's not about dumbing down, it's about being able to do more in total because each step is easier.
