Dead people's identities are also great targets for e.g. spies, illegal immigrants, and money launderers, so governments have a strong interest in making sure the identities of the deceased get turned off promptly and thoroughly.

If I am a victim why should I give a flying fuck about the reasons. It is their error and they must fix it ASAP. It is their fucking for job which we pay.

  I'm quite sure that there is no one in the world whose job is only and specifically to assist you in being declared un-deceased and that, even if their were, they wouldn't have the authority to entire enact the process. Any person you interact with is going to have additional considerations beyond fulfilling your immediate request and the organization(s) they work with or for also will have additional priorities. How could you possibly expect everyone else to drop all other work to complete your request totally without regard for any of their other priorities?

    I admire your attitude. Government knows these thing happen. If it is rare then it can be part time responsibility of some government employee. Appropriate authority can be given. When government wants something it always finds a way. Your attitude is - they know it will happen, it is rare so fuck it and lets ruin few lives so some government fucker does not have to strain all 2 brain cells they have left. Btw when bad things happen to "important people" suddenly it gets fixed in no time.

  Because it makes sense for everyone. Making the system perfectly handle an infrequent use case is a waste of resources for the larger system. A manual, buggy process is likely fine. The time spent to make it perfect would be large. That time can be spent making sure people get better service in other, more common scenarios.

Indeed. It’s amazing how lax the old paper system was. Canada used to accept baptismal certificates as proof of birth in Canada. The Millennium bomber stole a blank form and got himself a Canadian passport pretty damn easily. It’s not easy to get a death certificate (needs to be signed by a doctor or coroner) so reversing such an official document must be difficult. And on top of that, there is probably no process for actually do it, so that’s a challenge itself.
