“Pretty much every pre- 90s historic game was far more complex and interesting than what we have now. ”

The hobby was a LOT smaller back then. The complexity of the rules was a way to gate-keep the hobby. I really enjoyed AD&D back in the day, but would not want to trade in my 5E books and go back. Nor would I want to play any of those old Napoleonics rules that had staggering complexity to try and simulate everything rather than making a game that was in some way enjoyable.
