It might probably simplify things for third-party parsers. Not for

I agree and understand that this is one of the design principals of Org.

Not sure what you mean. Currently I just try to understand the syntax
and get the hard rules for my own parser. ;)
- List item with
I need to add something here and think the syntax description should be
updated about that.
A "*" is allowed or recognized as a list item instead as a head only if
there is one (or maybe more) whitespace space in front of it.
But "-" and "+" also recognized as starts for list items without

I was looking into https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Items to
find out which characters are allowed as "bullets" for unorderd lists.
I cite from there
"An asterisk, hyphen, or plus sign character (i.e., *, -, or +)."
