I can’t understand this, and I’m so frustrated with it at work. If I need to leave a half hour early for an appt, apparently they would rather I stop working an extra half hour early, leave and have a half hour to kill before my appt. If it could make sense in my head maybe the aggravation can stop. Thanks.

Depending on where you are, probably the law.
They are required to make you take a full break, to make sure you are not pressured into taking a shorter break than you actually need instead.
Ofc. The state can’t know what your optimal break time is, so they select a break that is long enough for the majority of people.
Edit: re-read the question, while I stand with my initial comment, I also think administrative issues play a big part, as others have already mentioned
