Pop history only starts caring about societies as soon as they get big and complex, and so you only hear about the "collapse" of complex societies. While complexity might be a factor in collapse, it is one of many, and the narrative that complexity causes collapse is often used by grifters, usually with some idea of having to return to "a simpeler time", without "degeneracy and (((bureaucracy)))" etc.
