Just use any definition that feels reasonable to you. If you have two solutions that are simple under different definitions, I want to see both!
I’m not seeing how it’s an issue if an algorithm isn’t simple, so I’m interested in why you consider a certain simplicity to be desireable.
A simpler algorithm runs faster. Since these things occasionally get used for practical things that might matter. Then some people have an aesthetic preference for simpler models, maybe related to having learned Occam’s razor too early.

No, not necessarily.
This is going nowhere, I came to buy chocolate, not argue its merits over vanilla. If you haven’t got chocolate, let’s wrap this up.
