What in the world are you talking about? Their shareholders are spending their own money to finance this. They are not being subsidized. Lobbying the government to pay for this instead, would be doing the thing that you are arguing against. Why should the taxpayers pay for this when other people are perfectly willing to spend their money instead? Not only that, but it would take decades for the government to do it, AND if they were to do it then it would be 10 times more expensive.
