Keep It Simple, Silly

I just wrote to D. Cutler, inventor of the Flote tablet stand:


I always say “K.I.S.S.”. In a reasonable world, you wouldn’t have to.
For example, I almost never see anything like your wonderfully simple tablet grabber, which can hold tablets of almost any size. The others I see have very limited size options, or other downsides (like a suction cup I don’t trust).

The Flote family: One stand fits almost any tablet. A simple "jaw" grip with very wide variation.

The rest: One stand, one tablet: 

(This one can also hold the Mini if it's in a case... but then you have to adjust it with screws!)

Why is it so hard for humans to think simple?
