It is to avoid totalitarianism.

Having a slow and archaic birocratic system doesn't stop governments going totalitarian on their citizens.

Case in point In Germany the Polizei will SWAT and arrest you if you post a meme on social media that angers someone's dignity. That's not a joke that actually happens.

This typical German "our government is not slow and inefficient, it's just protection against totalitarianism" is pure cope.
