You say "government" like the "market" and the "government" are separated by a vacuum. Spoiler alert, the "government" is the single largest purchaser for the "market", they drive the most demand and ensure a stable supply for a large majority of commodities that prop up your "market". They also seem to provide a safe and stable market place. FMFM are an organization that is subsidized by the government and is held accountable to the government. In the same way Farmers are subsidized and held accountable to the government. In the same way hospitals and eldercare are largely subsidized. In the same way weapons manufactures are subsidized. In the same way fire departments, police, road construction, rail, utilities, and air are all subsidized by the government. And whoa, low and behold they are all also held to the same regulatory and market pressures any other company are held to. Just that, society decided these institutions are important to THE PEOPLE as a whole to let them go to shit because they don't attract investment because the margins are too thin. Its not as black and white as you want to make it. Look hard enough at an "market" and you will find government subsidizing it in some way, even when it regulates.
