They kind of do. I've been using 'Free File Fillable Forms' linked from the irs.gov free file website[0] for the past 10 years to do my taxes. These forms don't calculate _everything_ for you, but substantial portions are calculated.
One caveat is that you can't attach forms you've been sent from your bank or employer or whatever; you have to transcribe your W-2, any 1099s, 8949s, etc. This can be tedious. I don't know if e.g. TurboTax somehow makes this better.
I am sure that there are people for whom free file fillable forms is not enough, but IMO these people should probably be working with a CPA.
