Without being cynical: There are powerful and wealthy actors who benefit from the rules being so complex that the little guy can't manage. So it won't get simplier, if the rules are made by people who profit from them being a untraversable jungle that can be interpreted one way or another. If the rules are vague and complex, the corrupt elites profit, as they are the ones who decide how to interpret them.

And they currently got handed the keys in the nation with the worlds most powerful military.
