You are nitpicking. LOR is perfectly acceptable. Not all Jews in America live in NYC where your LOR is on your block and if you really need more halachic proficiency you just go around the corner. If someone has a bad cold or fly you go to your local doctor. If it’s more than that he sends you to a spcialist. Halacho questions aren’t any different. The big problem here is that every other guy who knows a little halacho and can be a good melakeit puts out a sefer and puts in a caveat, this sefer shouldn’t be used to paskin, go to your LOR. Every Jewish site publishes articles on every sugya in shas and then says, ask your LOR. The Jewish web sites are all doing it l’shem shomayim, to help people. But they can’t write every halachic nuance that can occur so they say LOR. There is no other choice. And as Mod-80 says, not even the great poskim are perfectly aware of all aspects of modern living to paskin perfectly.
