That's because it has been a target of right-wing attack for decades starting with the republican-led 2006 bill that effectively bankrupted it overnight by requiring a massive 50 years of health benefits to be funded.[1]
So when you have a service (not a business) that is constantly being picked apart and hamstrung from completing its most basic functions, you can't possibly blame them for not innovating. Well you can, but it is not in good faith.
