@JRmamacat _ you are right. Of course it's not intentional. It's just lower priority than other stuff. Most people in this boat OWE taxes so what's the rush? FAFSA doesn't need a return.
I trust they are serving their clients in the priority order that helps the most people, and therefore makes them the most money. When you are an outlier, sometimes you have to sit on the sidelines a little longer than you want.
