Every Blizz game is very quick to learn and play and hard as hell to master. That said, why would they want to make things even simpler? The games are already easy enough to pick up and enjoy that I don't know what they will start cutting.

Blizzard have always followed their "Easy to learn, Hard to master" mantra. Even if they were making it more accessible that would only mean it would be easier to learn, and no depth would be lost because Blizzard has dozens of Korean pro-players testing Starcraft 2's gameplay ALL THE TIME.

 

Did you read the article? They brought up the exact same point as you did. How can they make SC even more approachable than the first one? You didn't have to have ANY skill of any sort to get through the campaigns. Now they wanna make that even simpler?

Edit: Warcraft 2 was my first RTS and that was just as simple too, and they didnt even have hot keys back then.

While the original Starcraft did not have so many insane difficult levels although saying you did not need any skill to get through the champaings is to take it to far as the last missions for both Protoss and Zerg was actully a little hard and some of the missions in brood war was nearly insane.
