It's a fair point that a single simple/complex axis doesn't fully describe most RPGs. Most have simple and complex aspects to them.
I do think it's interesting that the current edition of D&D strikes you as "smooth and integrated" but the current edition of GURPS seems overly complex, proof that one person's beautifully integrated system is another's patched-together nightmare of complexity.
