The U.S. government is a service with 330 million people who are both users and legal stakeholders, mandated to provide and maintain a variety of services and databases that predate the Internet and personal computing by several decades, and run by a publicly elected executive who is term limited to 8 years. Which Silicon Valley entity do you think comes close to the scope and continuity of service of the U.S. government?
Oligarchs don't want "government by the people, for the people". They want to own the government and rent it back to the people for massive profits.
