The process of voting is not the confusing part it is the process of counting that is confusing. People want to understand it before aproving it. It would be hard to inform everyone how IRV works. Second, IRV turns into random voting in the lower numbers (which shouldn't effect the election anyway). But deciding who is better between multiple canidates that you don't know is impossible and turns into a guess. In approval voting if you don't know a canidate you don't vote for them.
