How is your average smartphone (either open-source or jailbroken) more simplistic and controlled than a 20-years-old PC? (Other than for DRM and binary blobs, but those things existed back then too, and I don't think you're referring to that).
Making simple things easy is not the same as making hard things impossible. You can have both in the same device, and that's the design trend you're seeing.
