A lot of time the vocabulary has equivalents people would regularly understand, what advantage is there in keeping the obtuse language? I understand old laws exist but in such cases new laws could point to the equivalency instead of continuing the undecipherable mess.

Because if a new legal vocabulary was introduced, I would now have to read contracts in both "old legalese" and "new legalese". I don't think it really matters how clearly contracts are written or how simple the language is; most people won't read them anyway.
