So besides being a programming language you mean?
Just kidding... A bit off topic perhaps.
>I think this ignores the reason jargon exists. To demonstrate that the speaker is part of the "in" crowd.
It's not ignoring it because it's a guideline for writing in plain language on "www.gov.uk" for visitors seeking information. There are no named-author byline on the various informational articles on https://www.gov.uk/ -- so there's no "in crowd" to demonstrate to anybody.
People want plain language instead of fancier words in laws, tax forms, legal contracts, etc.
