Any sentence that include "is just.." or "are just..." loses most if not all credibility. It's communicating you have a simplistic perception of a complex world.

What are the benefits precisely of overcomplicating things?

Your question is not well framed. For complex matters there should be at least complex thoughts. I don't know if the solutions have to be complex but the conversations must be. To fail to do so is an oversimplification of the subject which is bound to fail.
