His proposal would make the implementation less simple, not more simple.

It isn't.  I don't have the Verilog for the I2C device, but I'm pretty sure the
divider is a very simple circuit that's located just outside the I2C circuitry,
but it still unique to the I2C device.  There is no "I2C clock" running through
the SOC.
