“Crunchy rules” and 5e go about as well together as pepperoni pizza and grape jelly, or sardines and hot fudge. 🤢
5e has some crunch. Admittedly not a lot, but it is not a completely alien idea.
Compared to older editions or other games, 5e is as crunchy as day old corn flakes. I think the only crunch in the system is by accident, or lack of inspiration for how to streamline those things. I’ve eaten hummus cruncher than 5e’s rules.

Getting off topic and deep into metaphors. I know 5e is simple and relatively crunchless compared to almost everything else.
It has enough numbers that a small portion of the fan base can focus on making big numbers. Numbers are not a foreign concept. Changing 1 set of numbers into a ever so sightly denser set of numbers foes not make the game unrecognizable or stand out as out of place.
This feels like arguing pressure gradients with flat earthers (except in this case, it would be to defend my preferred elevation). Crunch is a gradient, not binary.

Hey, my biggest criticism of 5e is that it’s too streamlined. I wish it was crunchier. It’s everyone else you’ve got to convince, not me.
