One aspect that was not mentioned yet: I would argue that developers tend to worship complexity (as explained by Eberhard Wolff). Either it's because we as developers simply don't know better but to use the tools we've already worked with (which seems like accidental complexity to me) or because we are arrogant (from the linked blog post: "Our challenges are much greater than those of Amazon or Google.")
