That's one issue he mentions but there are many others like reproducibility, safety, accessibility, efficiency, usability, etc.
The main issue is that these items have a much bigger list of requirements and stakeholders than the items designed in the past. They’re trying to be everything for everyone.
Something like a simple park bench needs meet requirements for accessibility, weather resistance, vandalism, cleaning, vagrancy - plus all of the opinions of city council and people that show up to nag city council.
Weird that he compares a cathedral to an apartment building in the opening... There's plenty of modern and minimalist cathedrals/churches he could've picked...
