It’s because the function of a resume is largely social signaling, not a matter-of-fact reporting of career history. You can’t make a data format to encode that information, which is why a lot of job platforms require a resume and a list of your past jobs in a form.

Any solution for resumes is going to fall into the much harder category of social change, rather than technical solutions.
