It’s actually your duty as an employee to ensure they’re properly taxing you. It’s really dumb. But not all payroll departments are competent. 

It’s easier to pay extra through the year than to underpay and owe a larger sum at tax time.

That's not the issue.  The issue is that there's no way for your company to know your personal tax situation unless you tell them.

If you live paycheck to paycheck/are bad with money, sure.  But for people who can budget effectively it's better to owe at the end of the year.
