Maybe I'm dense but why would you expect a government service to not use common tooling available to them?
I think access to government services is an impoetant part of democracy. Because you have no alternative, they should be Held to higher Standards of privacy. Google doesn't need to know everything.

This is how you increase the cost of government services. Though it would be nice if over time the government developed their own alternatives.

How would removing tag manager make this website more expensive to run?
The new tech stuff the government has been putting out is legitimately fantastic. login.gov is probably my favorite sign-in experience, maybe slightly behind Google's (and considerably ahead of Apple or Microsoft's).
A cool thing. In Germany this would not be possible. EVB-IT Cloud contracts, DSGVO and other legal stuff slow down everything and costs are exploding. No inhouse ressources available double the trouble
Government departments tend to be slow to adopt - again, based on feeling more than hard evidence - especially emin Germany. They'll just try to find some scapegoat for why they're failing, and GDPR is perfect. I've seen the same in businesses as well, where I've seen told numerous times they're behind schedule because of GDPR or they can't do this because of GDPR and it's just not true most of the time. People just like to hide their incompetence
I don't know anything about EVB-IT, so I'll shut up about that part

SSA Already announced the switch to login.gov, it looks like it will have broad support if they are starting the migration there.

I was absolutely flabbergasted that they didn't even white-label the third party stuff behind their own .gov domain, which means they're mis-training users towards "It's normal to hand over extremely sensitive official information to vaguely-plausible-looking companies with websites and certificates ultimately under the control of Montenegro."
And they'll accept anything from you without any ID whatsoever if you just use paper and a postage stamp.
