Looking at the picture, I wonder if complexity of these devices will significantly be reduced once it finally works. I assume a lot of the bells and whistles are needed to find the way, but once it's found..

That's how it goes most of the time. First you have to make it work somehow, often in a very complex way. Once you have something that works, either you can strip away a lot or the components get commoditized and you can buy them in a nice package. A lot of our devices are super complex but you can build a device without much knowledge because the complexity is hidden away in nicely packaged components.
