Do five-ingredient recipes that stick have something in common, or is it just luck?

Okay so this has been on my mind for a while. Five-ingredient cooking feels like it should be simple, but I've noticed that some of these recipes become total regulars while others just vanish after one try, even when both tasted pretty good in the moment. Is there actually a pattern to the ones that get repeated? Like, is it about the ingredients being things you already have on hand most weeks? Is it the technique being low-effort enough that you don't have to think about it? Or is it something about how the flavors land when there's nothing extra to lean on? I keep thinking that a short ingredient list is almost unforgiving in a way that longer recipes aren't. Every single thing has to pull real weight, or the dish just feels thin. So maybe the recipes that stick are the ones where whoever developed them was really deliberate about which five things to use, rather than just cutting a longer recipe down to size. What have you made more than once? And do you think the repeat factor comes more from the recipe itself, or from how easy it is to keep the ingredients around?
