Restricted as I understand it is not so much a question of how many
different parts exist, but what different types of structures you can build
from them. And given the great models I have seen in both TLG and MO
creations, both studded and studless, I'm really unsure whether it is the
restrictedness that differs between both styles.
I do think, however, that the studless style makes it harder to apply some
of the standard construction patterns we got used to. Also I don't see any
easy-to-recognize patterns in studless models to fill this gap. Rather,
studless seems to require a more integrated approach towards constructing.
Whoever prefers to throw together subsystems and building blocks into a
model, will probably find it harder to construct studless.

You seem to have a pretty extended definition of the word "square, then ...
