You see, OSR fans would argue both 5e and Pathfinder have broken core rules engine because if it was well designed, you could apply it to all situations and wouldn't need separate rules for every minutia. By these standards 5e is crunch heavy with unnecessary things like "how to hold your breath"
At that point, you lose a lot of verisimilitude, and that's pretty important to me.
But that's valid criticism. Rules have to justify their existence
