>How can a game this simple and stupid still be fun after so many years?

You're looking at it right now, modding. In fact it's this reason why other communities for older games still have modders (eg: morrowind)
I play and love other modern games but with doom it's very easy to get into.

Making new things for it (well) is hard but it's not so hard you have to have your own MotionCapture studio for all the animations and know your way around advanced art design to do all the graphics.

I mean, just to learn how to make maps in Doom 2 format would take like......an hour at most? Longer if you do all the tutorials and take a piss and get something to eat.
Making a map using only basic doom features is simple technically, the hard part is knowing how to make a decent map and that does require some skill.

It's still the basic principles of setting up challenging/engaging situations in video game settings and this is not something that requires the latest and greatest tech to do.
