(or as Frits always says KISS) and yes, simple would be nice, but that simplicity (crankcase scavenged, oil mixed with the fuel, the oil eventually collecting in the exhaust, fresh charge escaping into the atmosphere, NOX emissions (apparently caused by 'squish') etc etc - all no problem in racing machinery ..... but in the everyday world??
Also another long term bike follower and previous owner of two strokes - however, doesn't uniflow answer the problems of crankcase scavenging? Definitely a little more complicated than your average Villiers but no more than current four strokes.
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.
