I think you just agreed in a roundabout way It *could* be made simple perhaps but there is no documentation or best practices document that covers how sysadmins are supposed to handle the simple configuration needs like the pkla format did. Replacing pkla with the ability to run _javascript_ doesn't make them feel powerful. It just makes them uneasy. Sysadmins are not typically familiar with _javascript_. A lot of GNOME developers these days are but that doesn't translate into a good design for PolicyKit.

It can be made simple, if you look at it the right way. One wouldn't start with a generic interpreter, but rather evaluate the config script in a domain-specific context.
