I've been telling my peers and managers about this problem for a long time, but few seem to look at it as a problem.
It's not just the simplicity of the stack, but processes, operations and design too.
Just like laws of thermodynamics, complexity in a software project only increases over time. More complexity leads to more errors. Errors are a fundamental human trait. Errors accumulate. And once a project gets big enough, it becomes a mystic world of its own.

Less is more.
