Actually for me this is the opposite. It's an example of a consistent rules grammar resulting in less rules checking.
Once I get to know how the 'Attack' trait works, I no longer need to look up whether or not something has MAP, what it targets, and a host of other things.
It raises the threshold to get into the game, but makes it go faster once you grasp the general principles. Not just the Attack trait, but the way traits are used in general.

This is different from how 5e works, where each bit of rule (spells, feats, etc.) usually has all the relevant bits as part of its own description, instead of inheriting them from somewhere else.

Yeah. Like, it takes a bit of time to internalize and look for the term "Basic _____ Save", but it's one of those useful distinctions that comes up a bunch and really streamlines spells instead of having to know every spell inside and out. I see that, I instantly know the damaging scaling for each kind of save.
