No. Software developers know this. Engineers know this. Maybe some other people who build complex systems and suffer when their interconnections cause pain.
Lawyers, maybe not so much. Excessive coupling in a legal context just means that more money needs to be spent on lawyers, and there's no reason for them to be the same lawyers (or politicians) who put the excessive coupling there in the first place. The incentive to keep things modular just isn't there.
As for people who happen not to have jobs for which minimal coupling is visibly important at all -- that would be most people by a large margin, I think -- no, they don't know coupling is bad.
