Are PLDs really simple, or do players simply not need to play one effectively to get through an encounter?
It's a bit of both. Your basic, entry level Paladin can be a complete idiot and still clear most content. Playing it well though does allow for a very effective tank, in most situations being more effective than the Warrior.

Ah, another one who looks only at the averages. Using Inner Beast is trading some long-term healing for some right-now healing. This is important to surviving damage spikes. Extra healing is great and all, but you have to be alive to receive it. There are several cooldowns you can use to make up some of that 15% difference as well, convalescence being the major one.

There are problems with the class, sure. Paladin is a better tank, sure. But it isn't the best by such a large margin that Warriors cannot complete content.
