But check out the page's source. The site isn't so much a "master class in design" as it is a page that was made in the 90's and has never been updated. Back then this was how almost every webpage looked. It's still using tables for layout. Based on the MSHTML generator tag, it was most likely made in MS FrontPage.

Have you looked at sec.gov?

The part of the site I interact with most often, edgar (https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), does not look like it was made in the 90s at all. And the other parts of government services I interact with (SBIR stuff, like SAM registration and all), are worse, but even they are rolling out new versions of things (e.g. fastlane) that are better.

And looking at sec.gov right now looks nothing like a 90s website. It has clean graphics, its responsive, etc. Not exactly sure how it looks like it hasn't been updated from the 90s.
