Because fixing each and every system is going to cost more.
I explained a while back that the government should operate a level higher than the usual maximise(profit = revenue - cost) motif. The purpose of government is not to return dividends to shareholders. The government has a bunch of legal, social and constitutional obligations that may require it to spend more money than required.
For example, by your argument the government can decide that cost of holding elections can be reduced by holding them only once every 10 years.
