It always is. Lawyers write laws, often lobbying groups submitting what they want legislators to introduce as is... and they are extremely pedantic. Loopholes are 100% intentional.

It's pretty hard to write a law without loopholes. Like, you can't even write computer code that well and laws are a whole lot less precise.

The courts of appeal (including the Supreme Court) are kept busy mostly by all the weird edge cases that inevitably crop up.
