So let's simplify them, remove detail and information that might be useful once in a great while.
Just so we don't overload pilots with excess information.
We (principally me) found several years ago many FAA MVA charts were riddled with obstacle clearance errors because they were drawn up on sectional VFR charts (which lack sufficient terrain fidelity). That resulted in a sort of "shoot out at the OK Corral) but the problem got solved through a new terrain high fidelity automated system called SDAT.
As to simplifying them, that doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hades. They also refuse to properly codify them in the FARs as IFR altitudes so they could be charted by Jeppesen and others and then even be available in moving map mode.
What is my FAA bias to you is, in fact, reality from working with the FAA for 40 years.
