I believe what Frank is saying is that an older film camera without meters, autofocus or other electronic embellishments is in itself simple and straightforward. The function of the machine is rewarding. Using it correctly is not necessarily easy, but that's part of the fun as well. I take pride even in the simple act of loading film into an old screwmount Leica. It's anything but simple.
