Legal documents aren't complicated because some cabal of evil lawyers has decided to make the text hard to understand for you, they're complicated because legal concepts require precision and specificity that ordinary language isn't able to express. It's like calling code "programmerlese" and claim that programmers invented it so ordinary people don't understand software. The average adult reads with the comprehension of an 8th grader, if deception was the goal they'd hardly need to try that hard. EU documents are complicated because more than two-dozen national governments and thousands of people work on these texts because they can't ever agree on anything without throwing in 500 exceptions for each country, it's that simple, there's no tinfoil conspiracy.
