"Simple" is an interesting term. I've always found it to be very relative to what someone's actual experiences and knowledge bases are.
For example, virtual machines are something I and probably most other people consider "simple". They're pretty much just little computers. For the most part, I can just work with VMs the same way I would work with computers. No sweat.
My DevOps pedigree, however, also means I consider Docker containers and even some light k8s stuff as pretty "simple" - when these two things feel to other people like massive overcomplications.
On the other hand, I'm pretty new to GraphQL, and it feels to me vastly more confusing than good old fashioned REST API endpoints, where I can crack open the code and actually see exactly how that particular endpoint works. I am mostly alone in my org when it comes to this feeling, because I haven't digested the abstractions that make GraphQL work as well.
I don't really have a good answer then for what simple is beyond "I know it (kinda) when I see it".
