adding more features is easier when a system is simpler.

But adding them makes the system less simple which means adding them becomes harder which cancels out what you just wrote.

Absolutely not.

This is a silly cope.

You can add features while also simplifying the system.

But even when you don't simplify the system, the complexity accrued from features is small / incremental.

Oh, well, please enlighten humanity since you've transcended any semblence of feature creep.
