Most filers in the US have a single income from a single employer that is reported on a W2, and then take the standard deduction. And a lot after that have maybe a bit of income via 1099 forms and a mortgage deduction. All of those the government already has.
If they filled out a return with all that info, it would take just a couple of minutes to review it if it were already pre-filled out.
And worst case, you have other income and deductions, such that you've saved a bunch of time entering information the government already knows.
If anything, it would be the upper middle class who would lose out because they would just be lazy and click "ok" instead of doing their own taxes.
