Honestly it's refreshing to see someone with an audience like patio11 pushing back on the "Intuit lobbying is the reason US taxes are complicated" narrative that's so popular.
"Bootleggers and Baptists"[1] suggests it can be both -- Intuit is definitely not lobbying to make it easier. One wonders if Intuit makes donations to Americans for Tax Reform, but probably Nordquist is the more influential of the pair.
