Because this is a government website and not the actual constitution. It's absurd. This is just not how any of this works.

Power is power when it is exercised, and power can be exercised when people think you have the power. Overly formalizing things and ignoring how they play out is why congress is today a dysfunctional body, for example.

One can imagine the DOGE staffers high-fiving each other as they pushed this change.
Maybe they didn’t find any meaningful waste with their random Python scripts, but at least they got to own the libs.
Besides, the thing about organizations is that they encourage behaviors. A big corporation encourages different behaviors than a startup, and different company cultures can also encourage / optimize for different things. There's also a reason why we do expect ultimate responsibility to rest with leaders.
