von Braun was still at NASA when they started dumbing-down the Shuttle.
ETA: Fun fact: I went to Space Camp in the 6th grade (1986). They had Konrad Dannenberg teach us the basics of rocket propulsion. Kind of neat to get to talk to him, though as an 11 year old I didn't really understand who I was talking to.

It wasn't von Braun dumbing it down, but the Nixon administration cutting the budget which forced NASA to adopt the final concept in 1972.
