I think OP could have better illustrated their point. Which I believe is that governments are pretty bad at succeeding with projects that require innovation. This is especially true of the US in the last 20 years. Not to mention the public sector pays 2-5x more than government agencies. I’m not saying this is a problem purely solved by better pay and greater talent, but I don’t think we can say it’s not.

The US government is plenty fine of funding technological innovation. Look at the military industrial complex. F-35, despite being a gold plated boondongle is a really capable aircraft that is getting cheaper to produce.

Building an orbital fueling station and a moon base isn’t innovative? Artemis isn’t about hydrogen fuel pumps.
