>it drowns the receivers in bureaucracy

Huh, the receivers in this case are the bureaucracy. The senders are the one that has to navigate said bureaucracy.

So, the entire thing is a wash. The systems are complex and confusing, many of them likely by design. Getting an appointment in some of them can take months. Knowing what you actually need can be daunting as quite often there is a byzantine set of requirements that depends on your exact situation and any missed information could take weeks or months to get another visit.
