I think with the cluttered thing, it really depends on what the app is trying to do. Sometimes it works sometimes it just results in too many taps to get where you want.
But you're right, there's this tendency to do minimalist design for minimalism's sake. I think it's mainly to do with the corpo influence on tech, especially with mobile apps.
A lot of these "apps" would have been tray programs or terminal one liners as well. Making that into a whole app is a form of clutter.
