Or you don't need, in a perfectly good historical fiction novel, to add in an action subplot to keep the interest of the reader's S.O.
Except, of course, that books with complex, varied plotting attract and hold a larger variety of readers, including readers whose tastes run to more complex books with many points of interest.
And "sweaty hamburger eating masses?" Wow. I guess authors are free to write only for vegetarians who never walk or bike anywhere, (indeed never even go outside, at least in summer), but personally I don't see the point in limiting your audience that much. To each their own, I guess.
