This is what you get when you make the problem more and more complex

Eventually your developers won't be able to handle it any more. This is a bit like the "Peter-Principle" where people get promoted until they are utterly incompetent at their position... causing all the positions to be filled by people just barely competent enough to not be fired.

With software, developers like to make things more and more complex, up to a point where they are barely able to handle it themselves. Android is a prime example, its core roughly has the user exposed functionality of Windows 3.1, but achieves this with several orders of magnitude more code.
