There's a question of motivation.
A public service ought to be motivated to deliver a good service. It won't be motivated by taking shortcuts. A private company seeks profit and cannot afford to lose money, contrary to a public service which can be not profitable. Offering a good service it a means to be profitable but that's not the end goal, even if many people actually want to do good work.
Of course there's a big if. IF the government throws enough money at it.
This IF is unfortunately too often "IF only". If not, we are back to shortcuts.
