Curious has anyone ever done this? I am more junior so it's more about singing it or I won't get an offer but was there ever language you thought was excessive and you went back on it with a lower term? Curious at the more senior level what you have personally done, although I am assuming at that level lawyers are reviewing everything before anyway.

Excessive legalese on clauses may happen either because of incompetent lawyers who can't write straightforwardly or because the company gets into sensitive topics where potential lawsuits may arise, so it's written in this way to ensure that almost any interpretation, in potential litigation, favors the other party.
You can approach your counterpart and ask politely for clarifications. If the clause seems extremely harsh based on his explanation, then you could propose a clause that it's more favorable to you and that the company would also accept. If they refuse, then you can weigh the risk-reward of accepting and decide between accepting the offer or moving on.
A key point when negotiating a contract is understanding what clauses are worth fighting for and which simply should be ceded. You decide based on how likely it is to happen, how much it is likely to affect you, how easy would be to make your counterpart accept it, or other circumstances that are peculiar to your transaction.
