Why doesn't anyone want to fix one of America's scariest roads?

Probably because it doesn't need to be fixed. Not every complaint requires government intervention, which we've often see is more expensive and problematic then anything it actually solves.
Pro tip: Take a different route, or drive 15mph.

  Everyone is already driving 15mph on it because for so many people it's a tourist attraction.

    You did read where going too slow causes additional risk related to avalanches and rock slides, did you not?
    It's a very sticky problem that doesn't lend itself to "Why don't you just...." solutions.

    and yet, I still haven't found the need to make it part of my daily commute. Fascinating.

    Most people in the World don't. Most people also know when not to make flippant comments on subjects they don't have much knowledge about.
    But do continue your charade, I also believe in free speech.

    Maybe this is a sign you spend too much shit posting on this site. It's your life and all, but;

  Sorry, you're saying that people should just let the free market decide the issue of a gov't provided road? How does that make sense?
