Why is the Player Effects System so inconsistent?

A lot of perks or add-ons affecting players don't even show up as buffs/debuffs even tho it would make sense for it to do. A lot of perks or add-ons don't show the duration even tho similar ones do show it. Why is this system so inconsistent?

Why are there so many Survivor healing perks that don't let the player getting healed, know what is making the healing faster for example?

I'm thinking especially for newer players that it could get confusing that some do one thing but a similar thing do the opposite thing on the HUD.

No, this isn't the biggest issue in the game, but some QOL things in this game is odd.

    Updating the HUD to show more perk effects would help a lot more with easing the lack of communication in SoloQ. While I think comms should be limited, I also think that if a survivor's perk is in effect with you, the game should tell you. Especially when it comes to healing perks. We'll Make It shows you when a teammate has it active, do more of that.
