This is as needless as it is costly.
Courts are a miserable place to handle routine paperwork.
Courts are designed primarily to handle adversarial proceedings, where lawyers argue for each side and a great deal of time and money are spent concocting and debating legal theories. Over centuries, elaborate rules governing every nuance of courtroom procedure have evolved. Some people argue that presenting uncontested actions for approval by a judge provides important protections not available in a less formal, non-judicial setting. If judges did things right, there would be no such thing as an appeal. But even assuming there is some value to conducting some types of official business with courtly pomp, it's undeniable that most judges are busy dealing with the overwhelming number of contested matters.
