I started to feel that a large portion of news outlets are just press releases republishing firms.

Which make me ask the following: why is there is no links aggregators that just give you a small summary and link to the original press release?

It’s the most common sense thing that should happen, yet I am not aware of a single one that does that.

Why is no one doing that?

    That is literally the job of the Associated Press. They republish press-releases across publications. At this point, most press releases are written by AI at least in part, so I’m not sure a further summary would be helpful.
