The programmers were over complicating a task, not everyone can read advanced coding, hence not everyone would understand a complicated explanation of Karma in a spiritual sense?

So I simplified my answer so the main idea of what it is could be understood.

Okay... so karma is nothing more than cause and effect? If that's all you mean by karma then yeah, I think everyone would agree that 'cause and effect' are a real thing. But why use a word that is so widely used in its other meanings, and not simply say 'the laws of cause and effect'?

at the base of it surely, but it can always be expanded on but for someone who has no idea it is, it is BASICALLY cause and effect.

Not sure how you are not following this. There are magical elements depending on the belief system and location of the belief involved so if your asking what it is with indication of a belief system or geographical location it is as I said a cause and effect system.

Quote:karma, Sanskrit karman (“act”), Pali kamma, in Indian religion and philosophy, the universal causal law by which good or bad actions determine the future modes of an individual’s existence
-britannica

If I rob a bank, (negative cause) I will most likely be hunted by police, arrested and thrown into jail (which determines future of my existence based on my cause that was my effect.)
