Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. This project is easy to use in all feed readers precisely because it just generates a feed URL that you can subscribe to like any other feed.
On the other hand, maybe you're asking why the feed readers don't have this feature built in. Some of them do! The one I've used for years, Inoreader, has it, although it might be a premium feature.
On the other other hand, sometimes it seems from your comment like your issue is with the very idea of RSS. That a website can publish a feed in a well-defined / open format and that feed can then be consumed by any conforming reader. That's as I see it the beauty of the whole system. I don't need to use the site itself, if it sucks. I can subscribe to anything I like using whatever software I like, rather than relying on a centralized service. What's the alternative, something like Twitter where I subscribe to a bunch of accounts and they push whatever they like into my feed?
