Free Fillable Forms is made by Intuit. If you look at the network tab in your browser's developer tools, you will see that it makes requests to Inuit APIs.

They have an incentive to make the service as terrible as possible while still technically being usable.

I believe we'll be stuck with this mess so long as the IRS partners with the Free File Alliance.

Well, if they're Inuit APIs, I can see why there might be hangups. Something's bound to go wrong between here and the Arctic regions.
