Yes, I understand why you might think in this way Spiral, and quite honestly, I used to hold the same opinion.
I no longer hold that opinion as one that is universally applicable.
I think that in some instances the attitude might be:- " that's good enough for the purpose; let the courts sort it out"
I think in other cases the attitude could be:- "not politically important, we've already spent more than enough time on this; let it go as is"
In other cases---and this I know to be true--- the responsible politician doesn't even look at the report or the proposed legislation, and acts on the advice of a bureaucrat.
However, whatever the reason might be that poorly written legislation is passed into law, the end result is too often the same:- a weakening of the legal fabric that could be regarded as the primary control ensuring a well regulated society.
