I think you've missed the point completely
I did not it is still very expensive to employ a legal representative
their average fees are i imagine in the £100 + per hour and this is more than the average person earns per day never mind per hour.
There will be plenty of regular posters on here charging out at > £140/hr
there will not there will be very few but there will be some
they will be equally atypical.
Dont worry I will legislate for that as well 😉Good criminal lawyers will be able to move into civil law and earn more
No system or solution will be perfect but one obvious way to reduce costs is to make legal fees much more typical of the norm.
junkyard we are talking about criminal legal aid the fees are based around hourly charge out rates are usually between 43 and 69 quid an hour though there have been effective cuts of first 10% then 8.5% since the fixed fees were calculated on those rates .
These rates are not the lawyers earnings they are the charging out rate to cover the overheads and wages and profit . By comparison i googled labour rates for garages they came out at 40 - 85 quid an hour . I get called out at 2 am for three hours to a police station the firm gets £142 try getting a plumber out for that .

You really don't want represented in a Criminal court by an inexperienced civil lawyer.
I think you are just misguided as to what the norm is for professional services.No system or solution will be perfect but one obvious way to reduce costs is to make legal fees much more typical of the norm.
Appeal being heard yesterday and today, latest;

be interesting if the courts agree and decide to throw all these cases out.
