Destroying amtrak is literally a republican agenda, for the automotive reasons you stated.
Also, if you can spring for a sleeper car, the experience is fucking amazing. Three meals (and one boozy drink) included a day, there was a wine tasting, just all around pretty rad.
It’s federally owned. While ops theory is interesting, I think the real answer is because the government runs it and they depend on government funds to operate.
Bingo! Biden actually increased funding for Amtrak while he was in office to help improve the infrastructure and build more passenger lines. Who knows if any of that will ever get done at this point though.
I do think that Amtrak is purposefully kneecapped to keep train travel from being appealing, but honestly I think their website is fine. It’s on-par or slightly less usable than something like American Airlines’ website

Who owns Amtrak anyway?
It’s federally owned. While ops theory is interesting, I think the real answer is because the government runs it and they depend on government funds to operate.
So there’s also not much incentive for the people running the service to do any more than the bare minimum.

Spoiler: it won’t
