You see stories of people getting accidentally electrocuted in everyday life and dropping dead instantly, why aren’t electric chairs engineered with that amount of power?

Also: nobody involved really cares enough!

It’s not like we don’t know how to kill someone quickly and humanely! But most pro-death penalty people don’t really care how people are executed because they think they’re all iiredeemable scumbags who deserve to suffer. So they sort of say it’s humane to placate the squeamish (“it’s just an injection!”) but don’t want to put any effort into actually doing it humanely (because murderers need to be punished!).
