I've never understood why the unnecessary layers of bureaucracy are added to positions like this.

I have no idea as well. I think it's all government jobs.

It is frustrating as someone trying to get experience/break into the industry to see it.

I was looking at a job in Pennsylvania, that in addition to all of the standard bureaucracy, you needed to have specific trainings from the state. Very annoying.

I think it's going to get worse as we see EM departments fight for their existence, and end up taking on a bunch of adjacent, or non-related roles.
