Why haven’t they updated the technology for Pap smears

I hear a lot of women who refuse to get Pap smears because they are afraid of the pain.

Out of curiosity I looked up if men get the same painful results, here’s what Google told me “The anal Pap smear for men is generally easier than a cervical Pap smear for women. It’s quicker, less invasive, and doesn’t require a speculum just a soft swab. Some may feel mild discomfort, but it’s usually not painful.”

So why do we get the painful medical procedures ALWAYS? And why haven’t there officially been any changes to cervical Pap smears?
