While I agree wholeheartedly that it's a travesty that applications like this ever saw the light of day, I think we need to be fair to UK.gov. They did not build this app - that was done long, long before the UK.gov project was started - they just have not fixed it yet. In this case, the "fix" would have to be a total replacement. I'm sure they have a long list of old applications that need attention.
