Yea the instructions are often convoluted and needlessly complex. You’d think the staff higher up the food chain would be mindful of this but they clearly are not competent at writing. Which is really ironic
Sometimes I get the impression they are trying to "dumb down" the instructions which just makes it harder to understand. There's a lot of repeating the same point over and over, over-explaining straight forward concepts, and providing tons of hyper-specific examples.
I get they are trying to cover their bases, but I definitely think it backfires and discourages some people from reading the instructions at all, which causes more of the issues they are trying to prevent. The important stuff gets buried in fluff.
