Why does Texas make everything more difficult than it needs to be?

New to Houston area, just getting around to getting car registered, voter registration, and driver's license. First off, I need to print out a form to register to vote? Who the f**k even owns a printer in 2020? Next, the DPS appointments are all months out, preventing me from getting a driver's license any time in the near future? And for the car to registration, I need to make an appointment AND print off another paper, but the form to make an appointment doesn't give you a window of possible appointment times just "When would you like your appointment?". How is a state so big so backward?

Edit: there are only 11 states without online voter registration.
