And how is UK civil servants drafting laws at the behest of elected politicians different from EU civil servants doing so? I note you don’t mention the precedent point. Both are products of similar processes - I’d argue that the EU law ends up being longer and more technical in many parts because of both a more complex drafting process at EU level, and also the need to ensure that it means the same thing in a variety of languages. None of these things is a particularly strong argument for remaining or for leaving the EU imho.
