I could only wish the US had something like that. Very few Congresspeople could even succinctly describe email to you, let alone express the need for a system like this. And even if they could introduce a bill, Big Tech lobbyists would instantly swoop in and proclaim the idea as a threat to national democracy, and instead try to steer the legislator to just hosting entire thing on their platform instead. I fucking hate our federal government.

There are a few issues. First, Estonia is a small country and it's relatively easier. Second, there's no legacy solution to comply with when a new feature is developed. US has both federal and local government systems, and many agencies with their own services. That creates an overhead for a new and standard[1] solution.
