It's funny we expect governments stuff to be so bad that when they do something at the level of a regular SaaS our minds are blown.

it's the virtuous cycle of Republicans running on the meme that the government is inherently bad, then using their power to make it worse

It's essentially true. Look at the battle over the IRS trying to make it easier to file taxes. Republicans are strongly opposed.
If the government websites are too good, a lot of useless middlemen will be out of business.
