There are a lot of considerations around making sure that all parties have adequate representation and they're able to read the terms of the agreement or have it explained in their native language. So yes, I think all binding legal contracts should require either common person accessible language or require access to counsel to advise the person on what they're agreeing to. This would motivate companies to make terms that not only protect them but are also reasonably accessible to the people signing them. Right now they're only optimizing for their own protection.
