They only seem that way to you because you do not deal in finance. A system can only be as simple as the business needs it's supporting whether than be a piece of code or a financial product. Some pieces of code are VERY complex because the business demands it. Same goes for financial instruments.

Is there a real reason for them to be so complex though? "Buisness demands it" isn't really a reason for me. It clearly affects the stability of the system, so shouldn't we look at ways of improving it overall?

Well you can't just say "them." That would be like saying "is there a reason that all that software is so complicated?" There are lots and lots and lots of different reasons for all the different pieces of code in the world. Same thing for financial products.
