VCRs in the 90s may have had less complexity and (arguably) more reliability, but they were so damned boring!

For sure! Dozens of buttons, huge VFDs, level meters on Hi-Fi units - anything to catch the attention of the consumer on the showroom floor. In the 80's they were all really trying to make the best deck they could but by the 90's it became a cost cutting race to the bottom for the cheapest thing they could get to market.
