There's a lot of people that like complexity because it makes them feel like they are doing rocket science, but in fact they are replacing a spreadsheet. Most problems on earth do not have the same complexities as those in space. Sometimes the space solution is really nice and simple though, like velcro or using a pencil instead of a fancy pen.
If the problem you're solving isn't sufficiently complex, there's probably already a solution out there and you're re-inventing the wheel.
You're arguing that every single company should be a monopoly, and nobody should ever try to compete with an existing one. Never improve anything either, unless you can do 10 times better, and only if the 10x is very complicated. Makes zero sense.
yes, and most people and businesses are "reinventing a wheel" - not sending people to the moon. Some ways of improving on current solutions to a problem is i.e. making it simpler or cheaper, and as mentioned, a complex problem can also have a simple solution.
