It’s amazing to me that with all the tech we have, they can’t trace these emails or calls when this happens.

Because anonymous tech has advanced as well.

It has, but these are likely kids/teens doing all the swatting calls/emails not some group with the highest of tech capabilities.
Phone or wireless companies can’t trace calls or at least the number/cell phone used?

Even kids know about burner phones and vpn.

It's always just about how much $$$ / time you want to put into it.
Most departments can't just burn cash / time knowing the odds are it's a useless threat that will result in insufficient punitive action to justify the means.
I know the CIA / FBI does it all the time, but the military-industrial complex is very well funded.

Disagree that it’s likely kids / teens. It definitely could be, but for example the widespread swatting incident that occurred the day of the Bristol pd funeral procession was not likely kids / teens
