Yeah, there is a certain elegance to these lower level languages and these simpler operating systems. I'd compare it to the elegance of old electronics, where what little processing they did have, was done at the hardware level, was literally circuitry, which was so straightforward that one would be loathe to call it a microprocessor, much less an ASIC.

I think the kind of simplicity we're discussing is the kind of simplicity that only someone educated/trained on the subject can really appreciate, though. Normies won't get it, nor should we expect them to. In practice, efforts to make things "simple" to the uninitiated are often quite complex under the hood.
