Countries are there to work in the interest of it's population and business owners are a part of any free and democratic society. If you don't have a mechanism of business owners and private enterprise that are determined by the vote of the population (via spending money privately on products) then you'll need a state controlled market and I doubt you would like the results. (Venezuela, North Korea, Soviet Union) Just imagine some government committee is deciding on what the national variant of the new iPhone should look like.
