I wouldn't call that mindset a moronic one.
If it's easier to maintain an existing product, and pays the same, I'll
maintain the existing product and fight change to the death.
If you're doing it for a living, you want it as easy as possible to reduce
the possibility of failure and resultant demotion/firing/bad performance review.
As a pastime, fine, invent new exciting stuff.
