This is pretty normal. Judicial decisions are, in general (though not all of this applies to every decision) written to be read by people remote from the decision (either in time or otherwise) and be clear, to justify themselves in the case of appeal, to make clear to the parties what the expectations are of them under them, and to make clear to future courts (including the same court) what was determined and why to support proceedings to enforce, modify, etc., the results.
There’s an extensive body of specialized knowledge and terminology in the law, and a lot of that comes through making short-hand out of bits of decisions or enactments for the convenience of having brevity in reference, but with decisions clarity, both of results and reasoning, is a pretty big goal.
