The same can apply to a LSA, (where the thread started) with a basic model

There does seem to be a lot of expectations that don't seem to me to fit the
'sport' category. I learned on a Lark back in the '80s, and I think the
plane was old enough to vote. Pumping the brakes up on final is part of the
procedure, isn't it? I don't remember a bell and the whistle was the stall
warning.

It had navcoms that I could, in theory, use but other than for instruction
never did. Most of the time, I was just riding around northern Vermont
navigating by the lakes and mountains and thoroughly enjoying myself.

I lost interest, and many years later when I heard about the sport pilot
certificate my first though was 'that describes what I expect to do
perfectly' and it certainly doesn't require any more complexity that was
current in 1920.
