This is a widely-held view, but I have a hard time seeing it. The light
pathways are sometimes complex, but I don't think this is the same as
being complex to build or operate.

When one has light as a power source, and wants light in the end, it
just makes more sense to me to use the light directly than to go the
PV-arrays/artificial-light-source route, with its two attendant
efficiency losses.
