That’s a great paraphrase of a sentiment that I have also tried communicating to people. I have tried convincing people that just because something is lesser used doesn’t mean that it isn’t more simple.
In general, people are afraid of simplicity. When you show them a technique or programming language or method or perspective or whatever that is new to them but also simplified the problem, people are inherently bothered that it isn’t as complex as they’re used to, which convinces them that it isn’t a valid solution.
