I think most sculptors (and frankly, buyers) just don't care, they just want to make thing look good first and deal with the joints later
Yamaguchi's joint style really isn't that complex, but there's a lot of little subtleties that bring out that much more range.
Like the whole torso construction has the pec and groin balljoints pushed way back on the "skeleton'" so that they have maximum range to bend over the abdomen. The pecs are given plenty of space to fit the abs inside, and if they have an untucked shirt or something (like joker or dabi) they combine floating parts with the abdomen piece on an axis so everything can move out of the way. It's so considered and functional, and really not that complicated.
Most other figures (that I've looked at) have super stiff and straight ball pegs that give an illusion of ab crunch, but can't really go all the way. But hey, the sculpt is preserved! So all is well.
