really general rules tend to get abused just as hard, often by the very people who help build a community

I'm not sure I agree with this as a general statement. People are often wary of interpretable rules, because it invites personal bias, but strong systems to counter/offset such bias such as proper training and group decisions easily fix this.

That is very much not my lived experience, but I obviously can't transfer it to you. I guess I could make a parallel with the concept of "rule of law" in politics - countries that don't have it and leave interpretation of justice up to the authorities inevitably become really corrupt.

Yes but that's different from having a system which enshrines interpretability in their law tactfully. Some countries use panels of judges to deliver decisions and have law which is much more interpretable than places which are more letter of the law focused. You're talking about combining judicial and executive functions which has a whole different set of issues.

If we're debating, isn't the distinction a form of precision rulemaking? I've always thought of judicial vs. executive as a form of constitutional structure personally.

Assuming you mean inquisitorial systems (maybe you don't, please fill me in if I'm wrong), they still have pretty extensive laws. Just GDPR has 99 articles, for example.
