I agree with you! In England, we have something called the "plain English campaign," and they will help you write leaflets to keep the language very simple. In academic medicine, many journals now ask for a laymen's abstract, which means that you have to simplify your findings for a lay person. However, having simplification of the figures and tables seems difficult.
