Furthermore, while being "simple" is often considered a negative aspect, the fact remains that the more simple something is, the less points of failure it has.
cockroaches for example, people are often surprised at how resilient they are, the way they can take tons of radiation. How if you cut their head off the head stays alive. This is purely because they're very simple creatures.
Here's an on-topic example:
Grunt: What's up with your drone Tali? It's just...a ball. Why couldn't you make something more impressive and dangerous looking?
Tali: Spheres are the toughest of all shapes. Furthermore, without complex moving parts to break in combat, it can keep fighting longer.
Grunt: I see. It's like a Krogan!
Tali: No not exactly, but sure, let's go with that.
