There are numerous other possible reasons it took this long for the SEC to take action, other than the system being overly complicated or inefficient (lack of workers, bigger fish to fry [prioritization], the evolution of Coinbase into less of a commodities trader and more of a securities trader). Complications and inefficiencies usually require additional time and effort, but additional time and effort is not an absolute indication that something is complicated or inefficient.
I disagree with this assessment, but reasonable people can hold differing opinions on this.
Is it reasonable to have them be completely unambiguous in every circumstances? No.
Is it reasonable to have them be unambiguous in the vast majority of circumstances? Yes.
