Or perhaps it was engineered to be as complex as necessary to accomplish the job (sabotage), but simple enough that Israel didn't have to show all of its cyber-warfare cards.

There's a good chance that any worm, no matter how engineered, will be detected and reverse engineered. It makes sense not to go all-in on any single one and reveal your techniques unless the difficulty of intrusion calls for it.
