D&D 5E (2024) Is the FR Bundle + 2024 Core combining to turn 5.24e into Advanced 5e?

2024 is more complex than 2014 but I guess I don’t see the Forgotten Realms stuff as making it that much more complex, any more than any other option one took from 2014 DMG or one of the Everything guides made the 2014 D&D more complex.

FRs always made D&D more complex going back to 2E.
Maybe 1E FR im not familiar enough with it though.

Sure, but that’s not the system becoming more complex. That’s a setting option.

Yeah, it's not a major complexity move, but it is a pretty full suite of new options.

Context is though its adding complexity no forcing you to do it.
