Everything related to tax planning is gaming. We all do it.
When I sold my first house, I made sure not to sell until we'd lived there two years to make sure we didn't have to pay taxes on it. I've made extra 529 contributions in December. All these activities that should just happen naturally are influenced by the tax code.
I'm not going to pretend to know what the right answer is. But as others have pointed out, the more complex a system is, the easier it is for those with means to minimize their tax liabilities to benefit from the complexity.
