Constraining the user to simple tools encourages creativity and allows the system to be more quickly understood. This supports the removal of complicated features.
Oh god, no. This horrible idea escalated so far that there is now a billion dollar industry (RPA) automating braindead tasks just because software can not be arsed any more to include API, code/CLI based access or, to steal the wording, complex tools at all.
IMO this is another round of weirdly religious adherence to "UX" schemes which ends in massive damage, like the unconditional love for whitespace everywhere.
Please stop using "simplicity" as a cop out to prevent having to build software that, for example, has basic things like stack deletion. The result will just suck.
