The simplicity of the design makes it easy to point fingers at non-US / Israeli sources. Via the simplistic design the US and Israel have plausible deniability. When a piece of malware looks no different than any other released last year then it could well have been developed by bulgarian teenagers. Bulgarian teenagers will raise less international issues than using advanced techniques that only the highly trained CIA / NSA / Mossad operatives have.

Most Bulgarian teenagers don't have access to nuclear centrifuge controller units for the purpose of designing/testing their code.
