Isn't the problem that the "extra steps" are loopholes?

And legal loopholes are like a hydra. Close one and the lawyers will open up two more.

I imagine the line is hard to draw. But of course, the ones doing the drawing of that line are also on the receiving end of the good stuff, so there's incentives to not close those loopholes...
