They still have not passed a budget.

They intentionally hold it hostage for compromises on other things we don’t actually want.
The budget is probably more a formality anyway.

It’s not a formality. Continuing Resolutions (CR’s) and especially shutdowns can really affect people’s lives and society at large. People who require critical resources might wind up going without.
It also winds up costing the government more overall to go through this every year.
This appears to have decent information on why shutdowns are bad:
