 the non-generalized polygons are well-visible.

 Area boundaries are not generalized if the modification would damage
 topology or if the boundaries would be over-generalized (zero-length
 boundaries). In your output, you see

 {{{
 Generalization (douglas)...
 Using threshold: 120 meters
 WARNING: 1953 boundaries were not modified because modification would
 damage topology
 WARNING: 1951 lines/boundaries were not modified due to over-
 simplification
 }}}

 That means the not generalized boundaries are not random, instead their
 generalization would cause errors, they should not be generalized and they
 are copied unmodified to the output. Try a smaller threshold or stepwise
 increase the threshold using the output of the previous simplification as
 input for the next simplification.
