Notes -
The government shouldn't have any idea how you spend your money, but wants to incentivize certain spending. The only way that can be reported is with a citizen provided form. That's the original reason.
Do the filing prep firms lobby to keep it that way, long after the government collects a lot of this information elsewhere. Absolutely.
