am I the only one hoping for a simpler room temp humidifier?

Simpler and quieter perhaps, but not more efficient. Remember that the latent heat of vapourization has to come from somewhere.

Technology Connections has a great video on humidifiers: https://youtube.com/watch?v=oHeehYYgl28

Yeah I was not thinking of more humiditification as much as quieter but still room temp and easier to clean and such.
