Laws of UX
Occam's Razor
The simplest solution is usually the best. Among designs that solve the problem equally well, prefer the one with fewer elements, fewer steps, and less cognitive overhead. Simplicity is a feature.
In plain terms
When two designs work equally well, pick the simpler one. Less is usually more.
Why this matters
Every extra element, step, and word is one more thing for a user to process — and one more thing that can confuse or break. Simpler designs are easier to use and easier to make accessible.
