Ah, and in there lies the rub, Governments are not in the business of developing new technology anymore, it's been farmed out to the private sector, and the private sector wants to make a profit off of their inventions, so the Government must use private sector technology whether it's physical computer hardware, to operating systems, to web hosting, even open source has to run on something, and private sector tech is always advancing which means Governments must use advancing private sector tech. The dream of detaching completely from private sector tech and not be "beholden to private interests" only works if there are no private interests and all tech development is performed by the state, because private sector tech, the good goods, the new shit, the stuff everybody wants to use will by it's very nature be beholden to private interests.
