It has to do also with human nature, learning curves to new technology and government meddling.
I agree that k.i.s.s. is best but sometimes the task is complex.
For example the nuclear industry used to let slobbering packs of engineers design plants that Rube Goldburg would be proud of.
Today k.i.s.s rules in the genIII and genIII+ designs.
Perhaps the same will occur in the vehicle and equipment industries.
One of the problems is to find a service tech who can think.
Most school attempt to stream anybody with wits and a work ethic into academic subjects.
Sad to say too many service techs are lacking in ability and ambition.
Too many times trouble shooting consists of throwing parts at a machine until they get lucky and hit the problem.
Some can only blindly follow a factory bulletin to solve such problem. However something unique requiring thought leaves them frustrated and baffled.
There are some people who can not work with or ever understand electricity. Yet they maybe a brilliant tool & die maker. They can "see" the process physically. However they can not "picture" an electrical circuit in their minds.
AS for vehicles and machines. I've always ended up spending more and having less afterwards. When repairing older machines. Instead of scraping old equipment and purchasing nearly new.
And that's doing most of the work myself instead of with hired labour.
