Yes ... and ... some of that complexity disappears when you're focussed on the most important parts / the mil aspects that are most relevant if you want that to be how you use it.
Check out Form's eval, where he shows this visually - there's a post that reads something like 'and here's what you see in use'.
Then, if there are other aspects that you want to use, you train up for those via research (Rokslide has become the single-best repository of this information); dryfire and/or target use; field use. Like anything new and complex, it becomes easier with time.
And again - you can just ignore it all, and use the mil marks. But the full functionality of the complete THLR reticle is pretty special.
Bear in mind that it was created in part with military application in mind (the first videos showed this use, but I think have been pulled down); the benefit of a simplified version will be reduced elements for hunting, but might remove some of the wider precision / field / DMR / mil long range applications. Another reason to grab a ZP5 before they're discontinued, if you want those options ... we've focussed here on how the THLR is one of the best hunting reticles around; it's clear applications in military and analogous uses is highly underrated (probably more underrated than the hunting applications).
If we lived in a sensible world, the military wouldn't be using that 'abomination of a reticle', as Caylen recently called the Tremor, but the THLR - far more field-useable functionality.
