Because something must be done, this is something, so we are doing it.
Also, less flippantly, because the TSA has been pushing for REAL-ID for the past 20 years, and every year, the required adoption date for it has been pushed back by a year. I believe the current 'deadline' is May 2025 (Pushed back from May 2023).
There's no national id, and not all states are in compliance with their mandates, so they are de-facto building their own.

The mandatory requirements are onerous and worse, they were repeatedly changed and miscommunicated with state programs. CA ended cancelling millions of previously issued ids a few years back. Thankfully mine wasn't one of them because I've never been able to sufficiently prove where I reside with any combination of passports, voter registration cards, and online utility bills to the satisfaction of random DMV employees.
