Not all rules were complex, in fact early editions of Warhammer Fantasy was quite simple it wasn’t perfect but it was no where near the complexity compared to the bloated rule set it had become at it’s demise.

D&D Basic was a simple easy rule system to play, if you wanted more complexity then you moved up to AD&D.

It was not a way to gatekeep either, there were a plethora of rules systems on market, some where more complex than others.  People say we’re in a golden Age of gaming, the 80s was as well especially for RPGs.

People like old games because it reminds them of their youth, it’s nostalgia. Some are actually really good games and worth picking up.
