Don't think this a thing to aim for. When you write you don't just want to convey meaning by what you write, but by how you write. People express meaning through style and form, not just through content.
It's very techbro-ish and it reminds me of a guy I met who replaced all his meals with Soylent because "taste and cooking is just a waste of time, this has the same nutrients".
This performative simplicity that makes a virtue out of not having fun, in this case with prose is really annoying.
