> Companies could do their job

This is quite a naive view of how the world works.

Their actual “job” is to make the most amount of money possible.

A realistic option has to be one that is both technically superior and something a company is incentivised to do.

That is generally true, but not of quasi-public utility companies. The government controls the price utilities charge, and could force them to invest in storage.
