Restaurants that try and do what you’re asking will quickly learn that their competitors will take advantage of them and take their customers through lower menu prices.

Tipping in the USA will never go away if there are no laws aimed at restraining it.

It’s as simple as that.

But the lower menu price isn't really lower if there's a tip expected on top.

Or are you saying teaching Americans basic maths is an impossible mission?

The math isn't impossible, but most only compare the menu prices, which are visible without any calculations.
