I disagree.  Any perceived convolution is likely caused by lots of
people working on the manual locally whenever they change Lilypond
around, and working with their personal area of expertise.

The results are astonishingly good for that process, but certainly could
be quite better when designed and maintained as a whole.  That would be
a non-trivial amount of work, and the necessary knowledge is
distributed.
