... "actually, I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that" ... Is it just too difficult to spin a populist narrative for this sort of material?

Yes. Populist narratives are aimed at people with the attention span of a goldfish who like to get the feeling of them having been right all along within the first few seconds.

"A bit more complicated than that" is a non-starter.
