It does if that “evolution” consists of removing large or complex words simply because they’re “too hard”
They aren't removed because they're too hard, they're removed because they're inconvenient. They are removed when there is a more succinct and/or better understood alternative, for example "evolution" doesn't have a good alternative to replace it. Memorizing relatively obscure words isn't intellectual, and as simple building blocks as possible can often better communicate more complex ideas. There's a reason C is better liked than C++
