Your government should just offer something like this. In my country I just check the data they collected to make sure it's correct (and until now it always has been) and click 'OK' - taxes done.

That’s an oversimplification. For example, how do you expect your home government to know about incomes/dividends/gains that you earned in other countries. And that’s just one example.
how was that hard to figure out
only if tax accountants could use github and were eager like SWEs to put themselves out of work.
I am programming Swiss tax software. Always interesting to see such initiatives (latest one in Switzerland: taxly.ch). What I do not understand is: Why would anyone want to do that job for free?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

They give you a space that you input it in, if there's something missing how was that hard to figure out
And someone working minimum wage with no overseas dividend income must manually read every space for these “missing” line items?
Seems like you’re wasting the minimum wage worker’s time.

Your employer reports your income to the tax authority.
They send you a tax assessment, including any reliefs they think you are eligible for. If it's correct, you just pay the amount.
Otherwise you can file an objection. But for the majority of people, the assessment is correct.
