"splice, destructure, and recompose" - this gives the impression that they're making complicated on purpose. In this regard you're giving them way, way too much credit. I can practically guarantee they're just dumping a report (or more likely a union of several reports). It is a giant bureaucracy that has had zero price pressure to force them to simplify. It is a function of 30 years of new inventions, complicated laws and IT as an afterthought. It akin to asking the IRS exactly how many taxable transactions exist. They have no effin' idea. They'll just push the 74,000 pages of the tax code at you and say "you figure it out"
