The other side of this is that many laws do not neatly accommodate advances in technology. There are currently laws in place that predate cars, predate the internet, predate electricity. At some point, in some contexts, they will be a hinderance rather than a benefit.

This is extremely vague. The legal system changes continuously and quickly, especially when under pressure from big money.

If something doesn't either it's because it's not important or somebody is benefiting from it.
