I think this is mostly a symptom of the gerontocracy. Most elected officials have not grown up with computers, which is already likely to make them incurious about them. Couple that with being in office so long, likely developing a very high opinion of themselves that they know best.

Combine that with the rest of the technologically illiterate politicians just being indifferent, and you get this kind of policy.
