Default Is sprinkler plumbing normally this complicated (see picturesattached)

I bought a house that had a bunch of broken sprinklers, as evidenced by
puddles of water. When I dig down more than a foot for each one, I find
they all have this horribly complicated plumbing arrangement.

It's easy enough to repair, as I can simply match parts at Home Depot,
but I was wondering WHY there are six or seven couplings where just two
or three would work just fine (seems to me).

Maybe I'm missing something important.

Is it normal for typical lawn sprinklers to look like this?

Why?
