I would say this used to be the case but now they've made a significant effort in order to improve reliability. It's not surprising that there's a bunch of old stuff still around.

Just look at how long it took them to implement replay and a sandbox mode. I'm not sure how much of that was design decisions or was simply because of all the old crap they had to get rid of.

They were pretty open about this being the issue with sandbox mode. Ostensibly-simple stuff like "set champion level to 7" was a nightmare because the game lacked any easy way to break invariants like "levels increase one at a time based on XP gain obtained in-world".
