Why do I see entire parking lots get a coat of sealant, but never really see streets or highways get a large coat of sealant?

I need an ELI5: Why does my town throw down that loose gravel stuff which results in us having to drive 10 mph over it for a few weeks until it flattens out into new “pavement”? They do it here every few years and I swear the roads don’t benefit from it. They remain rough and do not feel like driving on fresh tar at all.
edit: fwiw, I live in a small beach town with higher than average taxes. We aren’t poor but seem to have the poor mans way to repave our small town roads. Please correct me if I am wrong.
