This is not true. Users want a manageable and appropriate amount of complexity. Sane defaults, reasonable options.
In the sitcom 'Allo 'Allo, a woman is trying to set up a date with a character who's a stickler: "What if I am late?" > "Don't be late" > "What if I am early?" > "Don't be early. Be punctual."
I'm reminded of this whenever I see something on the minimalist vs flexibility wars. The answer is in neither camp, it's in the 'be appropriate' camp.

Users don't want complexity, either.
