If an exceptionally lengthy lexicon were ubiquitous, would plain vocabulary be therefore more challenging to grasp?

Kindergarten simplified:
If everyone used big words, would little words be as hard to understand as some big words?

Lexicon: The vocabulary of a particular language, field, etc.
Ubiquitous: Existing or being everywhere, especially at the same time.
Would it be harder to understand everyday small word language if there were a superior language or one with larger words?
