> Complications aren’t about utility. They’re about art. It’s intentionally overcomplicating something.

This is not the original usage; "complication" does not imply "grande complication."

> ..."features"...

None of your criticism applies to "functions" which is the first term used.

> Methods in OOP. Every term in functional programming.

Yes... I'm saying in a niche, luxury industry based upon exclusivity and tradition, the marketing pushes towards old, foreign, and exotic language. All these things in commodity digital watches are "modules" and "functions" instead of "calibre" and "complications." (With Apple, on the high end, choosing "complication" for some reason ;).
