I am not sure if it is true still, but I remember "regular" workers in Japan do not have to file tax. They are deducted from their pays and that's it. I think that will similarly apply to a very large number of population.

I also never liked really to use accountants, as they basically ask the same questions that I have to collect myself. Might as well use an online tool. Especially if most of the "W"s are already at IRS/FRB why do I even have to send the copies of them again. Why don't they just give me the partially filed XML/JSON to me to finish it off.

This is how it's done in Mexico, most people have no idea how to declare taxes any other way. You can still deduct some things in an itemization like manner if you want or are self employed but otherwise its automatically deducted from your payroll.
