It's easy to say "keep it simple" when you don't consider that Law is a centuries, or millenia, old legacy codebase that no one has lived long enough to truly understand the whole of. Yes, there's a lot of things that don't make sense because it was written 300 years ago for something technological progress has eliminated, or because it was some niche edge case made for a specific issue that doesn't exist anymore.

We unfortunately can't just throw it out and start a new codebase like we do in tech. Or at least, I don't see much interest in that.
