Utilitarianism as a philosophy is basically the acknowledgement that life is messy and trying to come up with universal rules of behaviour for all scenarios is basically impossible. So they essentially went “fuck it” and came up with a philosophy that revels in the fact that it has no regard for nuance or situational contingencies.
Anybody who actually lived like that would be a monumental pain in the arse.
