The problem with that is that it's far more attractive for a private entity to book profits, instead of investing into their infrastructure.

Without the proper metrics, there’s no guarantee that the government will invest in infrastructure either (instead of, say, corruption - paying outrageous amounts of money to friends&family for subpar service).
