It's known as a "chilling effect" of the law. For a professional it just isn't worth your time to get into nuance, the finer points of the law, or "guidance" when your license / livelihood is on the line. There is a similar problem with prohibition and treating pain or whole classes of conditions that lead to chronic pain; many people are needlessly suffering because doctors are concerned with losing their license to prescribe.
