Can anyone tell me why I have to enter both my city / state and a zip code. shouldn't one or the other of those plus my street address be enough information?

Web devs not using a good library that will populate the former from the latter?

Some libraries will insist that my address is in a different city because my zip code spans the border. I mean if my mail has the other city it still gets to me, but for anything other than mail, they now have the wrong city for me.

Does it matter if the "city" is wrong if your street address + zip code is unique?

It depends on what they're doing with it. But mostly probably not.
