I guess it is an age thing. When you started working on cars and the like.
If you take the seat belt issue you raised as a problem coming in in 1972, that is 43 years ago.
43 year is quite a long time to learn and adapt.
They used to make cars out of wood and canvas so you could repair them easily (or because that was the best they had) and when that was replaced with steel you needed new tools and learn techniques to fix the new panels.
I appreciate that you can sand your points to fix the car but saying that you have a car where the points rust up and you have to sand them to get the car working is a better situation that a car that a car that doesn't have the problem seems strange.
Having said that I am sure in 43 years I will be complaining about the nano-tech bodywork that auto restores to the factory settings despite my best efforts to customise it
For what it is worth, I do appreciate simple too. One of my mountain bikes is fully rigid and fixed gear which is as simple as it gets...
...but I also have a full suspension bike with 30 gears for when I want it
