OK, now I understand your idea. I don't know if this is the best idea, at least for certain simplification functions. I expect a function like cancel() (for example) to always perform its function regardless of the "simplicity" of the result. trigsimp() could perhaps be an exception because there are various ways to simplify trigonometric functions (see also 2773). I think powsimp() rather falls into the category of cancel() in this case.

But you can look at how to make things like rewrite() use this. Actually, there should be a separate research task on how to improve the rewrite framework.
