Random Generator gave me Jester's Cap and Screaming Seahawk. It's a powerful effect (despite the influence of Screaming Seahawk) and could even be used to slap three Islands into your hand. Despite this, it just doesn't seem Mythic. Mythic is kind of funny... the rest of the game assumes that the more complex a card is, the higher the rarity should be. But I don't think I've ever seen a non-Planeswalker, super-confusing Mythic spell.
Eye of Ugin was pretty confusing... but not because its rules text was difficult to understand :)
You're right, though. If I had to guess the reason, I'd say mythics are meant to be exciting, especially for new players. A new player will often find a confusing card confusing rather than exciting.
