Yes, but those government services are funded using taxes, so yes, you ARE entitled to those services. You are not entitled to the use of any private service.

Effectively, the entire internet is privatized. To put another way, it is impossible to access those government websites without using a private service.

And since the government does not provide an email system, you still need to use a private service to access those public resources.

Unless you contact them through USPS, which is a public service.

See the aforementioned "you can only access some government services via the internet" statement.
I dont think this is mostly true. All government services I have used recently are accessible without the internet.

It is highly inconvenient without the internet, but not required.
