There maybe some point in your comment. But I'll give you a counter example. It shows that a rule can also complicate the game, not only simplifying it.
It is the rule of capture. Without the rule of capture the Go game would be much simpler. Most complications of the Go game can be traced to this rule. It makes the game much less stable.
