How come the slightest typo on a flight ticket means you won’t get on the plane/admitted into the country?

Even correct spelled names in the in the wrong fields won’t do, like first name in surname and vice versa. Where does the problem occur? Cause you have like atleast 5 – 10 customs agents and flight staff manually watching your passport/ticket, and they should be able to conclude that the ticket is yours. Or?

I remember years ago we flew from NY to LA my grandfather booked us tickets over the phone. There must have been a misunderstanding because all of our last names were misspelled in the same way (one letter off) the TSA gave us a hard time despite it clearly being us. (First names were all spelled correctly) had to get a manager to finally let us through.
