I'm so exasperated with this extreme anti-government slant on this website. Just so disappointing.

Expressing disappointment at the quality of a taxpayer-funded project is not the same as “anti-government slant”.

This is the state of online rhetoric, where disagreeing with someone is “hating”.

What is your specific complaint with details here?

As for resolution...ESRI shapefiles are vector files, they don't have a resolution.

My complaint about details is that the maximum zoom has an approximate resolution of 1cm/km, just try it out. Is that unreasonable to ask for something more precise in 2021?

If some public money had to be spent to fund an alternative to Google Maps / Maps.me / etc., this could have been rather used to help some open source projects such as OpenStreetMap

As I pointed out below, simplifications are difficult. Lots of OSM-derived basemaps are fine when you zoom in but look daft at small scales (for example check out https://www.baremaps.com/assets/demo.html for this phenomenon). So if this map provides you with a good look at a small scale, adding in the details should be fairly easy. Doing it the other way around seems much tougher.

Very nitpicky, but Maps.me is/uses OpenStreetMap.
