MODERATORS
All introduction to conlanging contain some degree of prescriptivism focusing on grammar and vocabulary building, so I'm not surprised when most famous examples also emphasize on them to also ease their introduction. Regular lexicon, consistent spelling and pronunciation are a huge help when learning a new language.
However, I have to agree that irregularity and going off the beaten path is part of human nature. I used to imagine what a future version of current day languages would split into based on regional dialects and features considered "un-educated" but also popular.
