We all agree the DMV is a place of suffering and pain with the most soulless unhelpful husks of "humans", but why is the DMV like this? (lemmy.ml)

And I think the reason is just the same as registering your firearms

Firearms are only registered in a small handful of states. The overwhelming majority of the nation's 700 million guns are not subject to any sort of registration requirements.

FFL dealers are required to keep records (ATF 4473), but you don't have to buy from an FFL dealer, and private transfers are not subject to registration either.
