Why does verification still feel like a DMV side quest

I get that checks are part of crypto now, whatever. What drives me nuts is when a simple swap turns into a multi-day bureaucratic quest. Upload this, wait, upload again, wait some more. Lately I’ve been sticking to flows where verification, if it’s needed at all, is quick and done. No long reviews, no silence. Just approve or reject and let me move on. Curious if anyone else is optimizing purely to avoid that nonsense.
