> They realized they don’t know anything about a topic and also can’t be bothered so they appoint these committees

It is literally impossible for any single elected official to know enough about every topic they need to legislate in order to make good laws. This isn't because they "can't be bothered", but because there are only so many hours in a day. They have to delegate.

Now, we can argue they do a poor job of delegating, but the problem isn't in the act itself.
