Multiple reasons I can think of:

Air Traffic Control staffing shortages. This has led to long shifts and intensive workloads for controllers, increasing the risk of errors.

Government shutdowns have exacerbated these shortages, causing delays and heightening safety risks as critical personnel, including TSA and safety technicians, were furloughed or worked without pay.

Then there’s the outdated infrastructure. The U.S. National Airspace System relies on aging radar and communication technology.
