I get it, it feels like a regression to me too, but there is method to the madness, their MTD idea is that you don't just plop numbers into some boxes, that they are a product of accountancy software (so that they're accurate).

I've seen some tools bypass this and still allow you to input numbers manually but just via the vendor API.

Yeah I wonder whether MTD has had the intended effect. I've used https://www.comsci.co.uk/100PcVatFreeBridge to submit VAT returns. It takes a spreadsheet as input, and there's no way to validate that the spreadsheet came from some accounting software or used any useful calculations. The user can just create a spreadsheet and enter numbers by hand.
