Why can?t we use easy to read sentences?

I simply can't understand why we don?t use simple language; aside from legal documents. The press releases I come across sometimes are so difficult to read, that I have to read them two or three times before I understand them completely.

The first sentence in the press release I just read is 55 words long.

Why can?t we use simple language?

What is the point of these long, brain busting pieces of text?



PS: I know my writing isn?t the best? but I try.
