OCR is a solved problem. It's like one call to tesseract and you're done.

The fact they haven't done this just shows how inept their employees are.

Tesseract has a horrific API and decades of technical debt. Add to this, it's also very sensitive to fonts. So... yeah, OCR is 'solved', but that doesn't mean it's easy.
