Again, why are they asking permission like they are subservient to the Executive branch?!?

This phenomenon has me more freaked out than anything else because Congress is allowing executive branch to halt their funding. Allowing the WH to cut funds or reallocate funding or stop funding all together. None of that is constitutional.
What "DOGE" is doing is clearly and unequivocally unconstitutional yet it appears that both Congress and the courts are not equipped to handle it.

Why is this complicated and why isn't the court system doing more to stop it?

Serious question: has Congress and Courts now made themselves irrelevant? How long before eLoon and his lapdog TSF just cut Congress and courts out of the picture completely?
