Because most products are not only shit, they're designed in such a way to be as shit as possible. Because that legitimately works.

Even if the government agency makes the worse decision possible, which they probably will, that's still an improvement, because we're completely maxed out on shit levels. That's how bad many products are today.

Really? You think government officials are best positioned to come up with next ChatGPT feature, or what how to implement authentication in a webapp?
Define best positioned?

Best positioned as in, make the most money? No, of course not.

Best positioned as in, not completely and totally fuck their users up the ass? Yes!

Look at Meta, Google, OpenAI, you fucking name it. These companies are a cancer onto humanity. They are actively making everyone's lives worse, on purpose, for the pursuit of advertiser revenue and new and innovative addiction mechanisms.

It's sort of like asking, who would you rather make your food? The government, or R.J. Reynolds?

Shockingly, the answer is the government!
