It may be worth considering the audience this is written for, therapists working within an ethical framework who need to understand the boundaries of that framework. I wouldn't expect it to be written in client friendly language, more to focus on what is and isn't appropriate under the ethical code while recognising there's a lot of space in the code and different variables that will influence whether a final decision is ultimately ethical.

I suspect that if you read most professional body papers you'd find the same technical, distant language.
