The Squeezebox ecosystem is complex because it is so flexible. Sonos is simple to operate because it's a closed system and the users get only the facilities that Sonos dictates. If the Squeezebox ecosystem were simplified so that it's as easy to use as Sonos, it would lose the very flexibility that makes it unique and so appealing to us.
Let me liken it to the process of preparing food. The Squeezebox approach is akin to obtaining the fresh ingredients and doing it all yourself. Sonos is like buying a prepared meal and whacking it in the oven. If you have the necessary skill, the former approach will yield better results. But if like me you are pretty hopeless in the kitchen, a prepared meal is the way to get something edible.
