I thought this too and then I saw the requirements to apply for federal jobs. They require literally 24 pages of content.

You're right tho 2 pages and maybe a portfolio is more than enough.

Government (US) job applications, interview process, and selection criteria etc are so far removed from any civilian process that it needs to be a completely separate conversation. If he's ocassionally changing his resume down to 2 pages or getting 60 interviews a month he's not applying to US government jobs.
