To be pedantic, ASN.1 is what its name says it is - a notation.
The properties you go on to describe are those of BER; other
encodings have other properties. For example, DER adds
constraints such that there are no longer multiple ways to
encode the same thing. Besides simplifying implementations,
Hate to bust your bubble here but DER encoding is vastly more complex
than any other encoding. It is certainly not simpler than the BER
encoding.
It's a subset, in fact. All DER is valid BER.
