The reason the US doesn't do that is thanks to lobbying by companies like Intuit and H&R Block.

It has more to do with legislators using the tax code as a way to give away money for certain activities than tax prep lobbying. It's also a lot of fear mongering by those companies, and a general lack of reading comprehension. If you don't have to file quarterly, your taxes are likely very easy.
