Practical programming languages are generally designed to try to reduce the Kolmogorov complexity of most common tasks, when pretty-much ignoring the additive constant for the language itself. This strongly encourages the additive constant for the language itself to be large, by adding a great many libraries useful for many types of tasks. For estimating the actual Kolmogorov complexity of a specific task for something like the Universal Prior, you’re better off starting with one of the simplest Turing tarpits with low initial additive constant, and digging yourself out of the tarpit to the minimal extent actually required for that one specific task
