It's always "simpler" to just leave it as it is rather than making modifications/changes. It is a LOT simpler to stay with mechanical brakes than to convert to hydraulic and if someone wants those mechanical upgrades, it's "simpler" to buy a newer car that came with them rather than a car that did not and has to be changed. Modifying something is never "simpler" than leaving it stock unless the stock parts are broken and are not available any more. Now, DRIVING may (or may not) be simpler if you make changes to things like the ignition and brakes on a model A but it's STILL simpler to just buy a car that already has those features. Point is that defining "simple" is not necessarily all that "simple"
