If you think you know how to do this better, there are billions or trillions of dollars waiting to reward you. Intelligent creatures like humans can fairly easily compensate for communication mismatches. That's enormously more difficult for us to program computers to do. We've only just stumbled on technology that might help with that - the latest generation of language models - but it'll probably take decades of work by everyone involved, on the entire planet, to be able to get to a point that resembles what you're imagining as the non-lazy, non-ignorant choice. Which proves that laziness and ignorance are not the issue.
