Modern law is pretty much what happens when people let themselves be fooled by a smart psychopath.
“Murder is not allowed.”
“Well, I didn’t ‘murder’ that guy. I paid someone else to do it, so they’re guilty and not me.”
What should have happened is it’s the same thing and the guy answers for it accordingly. Instead, people got fooled by a sufficiently plausible argument. And then we started the infinite loop of specifying every single tiny thing separately, ending with a set of laws that only professional lawyers after years of training can read and comprehend (still not always).
Only a handful of people stopped to think about teaching at least some basics of this insane law to people, e.g., as a subject in school. But other than that it’s, of course: spend every second of your life learning what’s allowed and what’s not, or pay for your ignorance. And don’t worry, you’ll still get screwed over by a billionaire with 50 full-time lawyers.
What’s also important to note is, that changing just simple (in theory simple) things about a law is in fact quite hard and complex. You have to be incredibly carefully to not introduce new backdoors just because you changed some small details.
It reads like you seriously believe that there was a group of people who were sitting day and night and, giggling menacingly, wrote the law to be as complicated as possible…

“Modern society” where every insanity is considered, without common sense.
Because “common sense” is extremely uncommon.
Why do you think we have safety warnings everywhere? “Big Label” pushing it’s agenda? No, mate, it’s because people are idiots.
Why is “every insanity” considered? Because once there was someone who was trying to get away with crime by invoking said insanity.
