The nature of reality is the cause of the legal professions complexity. Legalese is simply a tool used in order to make the communication more precise and uniform (you could say the same thing about programming). Without legalese, you would undoubtedly see a dramatic rise in court filings (like in programming, you would see more bugs).
It's similar to programming in that you are attempting to draw up rules/parameters for a game, but more challenging because the system it operates in is usually less constrained.
Take this for what it's worth; I would call myself neither an expert in law or programming.
