There are indeed many examples of both Government and private industry succeeding and failing. Perhaps the differentiator is bureaucratic interference, which private industry is somewhat less prone to, but by no means immune from. Government, meanwhile, tends to create over-bureaucratized organizations, but can sometimes under some conditions create highly efficient organizations in some places. Perhaps it's a good thing that we still have plenty of diversity in organization so that we can try all possible options for how to do something. New, small, and inexperienced companies, large and highly organized companies, and government departments large and small can all try their hand at creating new things.
