Depends how you define complexity. :) In this case, I guess you mean
complexity in the shell / user-facing window management / user
interaction case. You can construct quite complex usecases that don't
place such heavy and complex demands on window management just fine;
for example, it's being shipped in cars, set-top boxes, etc.  These
are all quite complex, but don't have those desktop shell requirements
around window management.

Cheers,
Daniel
