The reason is "seems" complicated is because of the coaches and umpires who overthink the process and try to find a loophole or advantage through the wording or the exclusion of such.
Because of that, the wording of the rule is not basic, but specific to the point of being extraneous. And, in spite of that, people still try to read into it and abuse what they believe to be a loophole or advantage.
