Your right; for the more complex environments to be vertically integrated it is getting somewhat more complex to set up, but simpler to manage once it is set up (exception VIOS).

If you want IBM i with its total integration and use that box to run your business, it's still simple. It all depends on how much unstructured data you have to manage.

We're going backwards.

The IBM i is supposed to be simple to manage. This doesn't sound like it's
making things simpler. Are we going to get to a point where the "Laughing
Boardroom" ads don't apply anymore?

Just my .02.
