What nonsense. Programmable logic is actually the preferred way,
and is in no way an indication of complexity, let alone one of
needless complexity. It's perfectly reproducible if the programmed
circuitry is known, and it reduces PCB complexity, component count,
socket count, and soldering effort (all of which actually improves
reproducibility).

Do you really know so little about the subject, or do you just
want to vent your huge minority complex ?
