It doesn’t surprise me in the least bit, considering how complex everything seems to be in zsh.
Years ago, I was trying to understand how the completion system works. I never understood.
Even the user-facing shit you need to put in your .zshrc in order to enable completion in the first place does not look like it’s made for a human to read. Not to mention that you need to enable it in the first place.
Configuring zsh was such a mess for me, for years. I don’t know why I used it for so long. Glad I gave fish a shot.
