I mean these private services are not really accountable either. Sure you can (maybe) sue them, but the damage they've caused is already done and the people responsible have long left and never held liable. The bandits have already stripped everything valuable and then the government (and by definition, you) are left to foot the bill. This isn't to say a corrupt government can't do the same thing, but there's more incentives for officials at smaller leaner agencies to operate in the public benefit.
