Simplicity and concision are independent. I don’t find Eliezer’s sequences complicated. They are long, but simple all the way through.
Simplicity and grandmother-explainability are also not the same thing. I’d reject the grandmother quote, but this one I don’t have a problem with, even if Einstein never said it.
Something I tell students when I’m teaching programming is “What is not clearly said was never clearly thought.”
