I'm not sure you understand me. What could and should be are not always what actually is. Additionally, the USA has nearly 350 mn people, each state uses their own tech, own rules unless otherwise federally mandated, and DOGE went into federal systems and deleted and destroyed a lot. Moreover, individual counties and municipalities have their own systems. Rural areas don't have the funding populous areas do, and people who can afford higher taxes simply don't want to pay them and fight against them. Small towns here don't even have websites, but FB pages.
