I personally would NOT get carried away with all the decoupling crap and over engineering (as others have mentioned). Sounds to me that you are questioning this mantra that engineers have been touting as of late.

I have worked on systems that became so complex due to all this unnecessary B.S. that developers were doing in the name of "proper software design" that it became completely, and utterly unmanageable, which is what the were "trying" to avoid in the first place.

No, that is not the goal. It was never intended to be the goal.
