I refer to this as the "Piano Design", where you have a button for every feature, it just takes A LOT of practice and effort to use it well.
I totally agree that a UX can be too simple! But *most* products need to be approachable by a wide range of users, novice and experts. So they need to be simple to use at first. The trick is to provide the extensions for power users without also impacting novices. The cockpit example is clearly ONLY for experts.
