You missed the whole point. Yes, it makes no sense until you grok the logic of it and then it starts making sense (while still being unintuitive).
Re-read the comments you are responding to.

Yeah I get that it has logic (though by being pedantic, anything we can write a parser for has logic, but I’m sure we could create some stupid languages), but as you yourself note, not very intuitive. And as far as I know, it doesn’t ease the work of parser-writers.
