I'm not sure I see the problem, government is for these cases where every player individually has a cheaper option for the short term, but one that might not be as good for the city/state/country overall. I don't want Google to spend a hundred million dollars on chip production for just themselves that would add to the price of their products - but not their competitors - and also not help out the broader market situation... it's not in my interest for every company to go their own way here, either.
