Yes, you can reduce nearly all commonsense inference to a few rules,
but only if your "rules" and your knowledge base are not fully
formalized...
Fully formalizing things, as is necessary for software
implementation, makes things substantially more complicated.
Give it a try and see!

you think "massive" knowledge items are needed for commonsense
reasoning -- if you closely
examine some of your own thoughts you'd see.

For the type of common sense reasoner I described, we need a

to collect such rules by hand. So that explains why my type of
system has
not been tried before.
