 Simplicity is an engineering super power.  It's why manufactured goods peaked and have been on a decline in quality.  We aren't creating better systems, just adding "features" and complexity which make things worse.  

I think we are seeing a return to quality over quantity.  To minimalism and reducing consumerism through coalescing around the best quality.  

I think Bitcoin raising the bar on the cost of capital will naturally weed out the junk and only quality and simplicity will survive. 
 Perfection is not when there is nothing more to add, but when there's nothing more to remove
