Trying to improve medicine has a different upside and different calculation than making software less annoying.

Improved EHRs would improve medicine by making doctors more productive. Increases the amount of time they can spend billing instead of on administrative overhead. More billing is more money.
I don't think this is bureaucratic maliciousness to kill innovative EHRs. My guess is it's a really hard and boring problem to solve due to the integration work which makes it hard to break the network effects.
