Congress won't let the IRS do it. To avoid that, Turbo Tax and the others promised to give free filing software out. That it didn't have all the deductions (pay for that) and was filled with anti-patterns to get people to sign up was something Congress ignored.

I assume there were also some campaign contributions that changed hands.
