Maybe, but then there's economic realities and legacy considerations.

Ok guys, you still can do ASP.NET webforms in Visual Studio 2022 Preview. It's just that, ASP.NET webforms project elements are listed as optional item.
Below are the "optional" items (under ASP.NET section) that you need to manually select it to install while installing Visual Studio 2022.
- .NET Framework project and item templates
- .NET Framework 4.8 development tools
- .NET Framework 4.6.2-4.7.1 development tools
- Additional project templates (previous versions)

Q: How many government employee does it takes to change a light bulb?
A: We'll have a sub-committee meeting and get back to you with an estimate!

That's not a joke. It's standard procedure for government departments.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

With increasing size, any administration will be more and more busy just administrating itself. Probably some variant of the law of diminishing returns.
It applies to almost everything, like project management or even operating systems. The more resources there are to manage, the more of these resources will be / must be used to do that. The government is just the worst case, because they have so much to manage and the largest horde of people to do that.

And to make it worse, any time governments or large corporations lay off people, it's always at the bottom so the next round of growth just increases the administrative overhead.

While this is true, there is hidden benefit to a system growing large enough to achieve adaptive complexity.
When enough agents get added to the system it takes on the properties of a Complex Adaptive System. Such systems exhibit a "life of their own" wherein the behavior of the individual agents does not linearly impact nor reflect the behavior of the system as a whole, but the system adapts to change and stress, and will defend itself, proving incredibly resilient.
Other entities that exhibit the properties of a CAS are economies, ecosystems, societies (we have extragovernmental unwritten rules we live by that are a product of culture) and well, particularly any human construct with enough people involved.
There is overhead involved. The process of adapting under such a system often looks like throwing things at a wall to see what sticks, but nevertheless over time, it works to the benefit of the survival of the system.

Microsoft survived Windows ME
The US government survived <insert your least favorite US president>

Don't they usually recommend that they set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms
of reference so that at the end of the day they will be in the position to think through the various
implications and arrive at a decision based on long-term considerations rather than rush prematurely
into precipitate and possibly ill-conceived action which might well have unforeseen repercussions.

Thinking of incorporating some historical text into my product, but all there is is scanned images of dispatches (200 years old).
The material is long enough I'm not up to typing it in.
Windows 10 has OCR built in. Found an MS sample app that allows you to select an image file and it will extract the text. I used it on a page that was skewed, and it missed only 2 letters.
Big time saver for something that just works if you need to import a few paragraphs of text or more. C#, UWP.

Did I read this right? A MS sample that just works?

I found that the locally installed version of OneNote also allows you to extract text from picture
paste the picture into a notebook (if it comes from the internet then you may need to paste and copy via Paint) and then right click and "Text from picture"
I say installed as the windows store app doesn't do it

Oh yes, it appears HP is pulling as big boners as Microsoft. So, Saturday, my wife's OfficeJet died. It was a faithful servant for over 10+ years, so we got our money's worth. Daughter needs to print homework, and I find out my faithful Samsung wireless printer (10+ years) has died as well. Hmmm.
FWIW, now is not a good time for one to need a printer. Most of the shelves are empty, and I think what is left is questionable. The first replacement HP turned on, flashed all of it's lights like crazy, turned off and that was it - dead.
The next HP came from Amazon. It's paper tray was incorrectly assembled - it won't take 8.5x11 paper. Good QC HP. That's going back as soon as we get the return label printed.
Third printer I find at a local office supply. And here begins my rant. HP now requires an online account associated with the specific printer so that they can help me monitor my printers. It's all up in the cloud somewhere. This is before they will allow me to install drivers or do anything else.
Whatever happened to just installing the drivers and moving on with life?
