Why begs the question, what is the point of captialism if it cannot maintain key infrastructure?

Perhaps as coding becomes commoditized by Agentic AI, or whatever it evolves into, these types of problems in infrastructure too will become easier to maintain.
When has capitalism been about maintaining key infrastructure? That’s what government is for!
Government hires capitalists to do it's job, and is bribed by them. Still people have voted with their silence for this to be the status quo. So what government is for, is a choice of the people, the rest is toothpaste advertisement.
Not to let it get so deregulated that it falls under the weight of its own greed. Pure capitalist forces will cook any system, needs a mix for functioning markets.
